ITV2 TV Guide: Listings, Schedule & What’s On ITV2 Tonight

Published: 10 September 2026

ITV2 has been ITV’s channel for the 16-34 crowd since December 1998, and since the 2015 Love Island revival it has essentially been the Love Island channel. Free on Freeview, free to stream live on ITVX. Friday 11 September 2026 has no Love Island either, main series or Unseen Bits; the evening opens on a quiz-and-reality mix, Wheel of Fortune and The 1% Club, before The Dark Knight Rises takes over the rest of primetime from 9pm.

ITV2 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV2 primetime line-up for tonight, Friday 11 September 2026.

Celebrity Catchphrase — ITV2, 6pm

Stephen Mulhern puts a trio of famous faces through the picture-clue format, a lighter warm-up before the evening’s quiz-and-film double bill.

Wheel of Fortune — ITV2, 7pm

Graham Norton hosts the revived spinning-wheel format, with three pairs of contestants chasing a top prize of £50,000 rather than a car or a holiday.

The 1% Club — ITV2, 8pm

Lee Mack’s puzzle show strips a line-up of a hundred hopefuls down using questions that most people should get right, then ones almost nobody does. The prize climbs as the field thins out.

The Dark Knight Rises — ITV2, 9pm

Christopher Nolan closes out his Batman trilogy with Christian Bale back under the cowl and Tom Hardy as the masked Bane, eight years on from The Dark Knight. It’s a long one: ITV2 gives it the whole of the rest of primetime, pausing for a five-minute FYI Daily entertainment-news bumper at 10:10pm before picking the film back up at 10:15pm rather than cutting to a second listing.

What kind of shows are on ITV2

Reality TV and dating formats

Love Island is what the channel is built around, but the daytime schedule runs on the same fuel at lower stakes: Dress to Impress, Dinner Date, TOWIE, and imported American Real Housewives by the yard. Most of it is repeated within the same day, which tells you how it is meant to be watched.

Comedy and US animation

Family Guy, American Dad! and Bob’s Burgers hold up the late-night schedule. None of it is exclusive to ITV2 and none of it is new, but there is enough of it in circulation that a rerun is on somewhere between 11pm and 3am most nights.

Family films

Weekend evenings usually go to animated and studio comedy films, the Ice Age and Madagascar sort of thing.

How to watch ITV2

Channel numbers

Here’s where to find ITV2 across the main UK television platforms:

ITV2 is free on all of the above platforms, no subscription required.

Streaming online

ITV2 streams live and free through ITVX, ITV’s streaming service, at itv.com/watch and via the ITVX app on smart TVs, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV and most games consoles. You’ll need a free ITVX account, which takes a couple of minutes to set up and costs nothing. Full episodes of Love Island, Family Guy and most other ITV2 shows are also available on demand shortly after broadcast.

ITV2 +1 and sister channels

ITV2+1 repeats the schedule an hour behind, which is the fix for sitting down at 9.15pm and finding you have missed the opening. Numbers are in the table above. Beyond the timeshift channel, ITV2 sits alongside ITV1, ITV3 and ITV4, and a show premiering on ITV1 will often turn up on ITV2 later.

Frequently asked questions

What channel is ITV2 on Freeview?

ITV2 is on Freeview channel 6, with ITV2+1 on channel 29. Both are free with no subscription.

What channel is ITV2 on Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat?

Sky channel 118, Virgin Media 115, and Freesat 113. ITV2+1 sits on 218, 315 and 114 respectively.

What’s on ITV2 tonight?

Wheel of Fortune at 7pm and The 1% Club at 8pm lead into The Dark Knight Rises from 9pm, running to around 12:15am with a short break for FYI Daily at 10:10pm. There’s no Love Island tonight — see the table above for the full day’s listings.

What time is Love Island on ITV2?

9pm every night from Sunday to Friday during the main series. Saturdays get Love Island: Unseen Bits instead of a new episode, because the Islanders get the day off from filming.

Can I watch ITV2 free on ITVX?

Yes, ITV2 streams live and free on ITVX with no subscription needed, just a free account.

Verdict

Friday’s ITV2 splits neatly in two: Wheel of Fortune and The 1% Club carry the usual quiz-and-reality opening, then the channel hands the rest of primetime to a single film. The Dark Knight Rises runs from 9pm to around 12:15am, broken only by a brief FYI Daily bumper.

There’s no Love Island tonight, main series or Unseen Bits, and the daytime schedule runs on Deal or No Deal, Supermarket Sweep, Wheel of Fortune reruns and the Real Housewives strand — see the table above for the full day’s listings.
