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

Published: 11 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. Saturday 12 September 2026 has no Love Island at all, main series or Unseen Bits; the evening instead runs a Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Baywatch double bill, each interrupted briefly by an FYI Daily bumper, before two Family Guy episodes close the night.

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

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice runs from 6:10pm, broken briefly for FYI Daily at 7:15pm, then Baywatch takes over at 9pm with the same short interruption at 10pm. Two Family Guy episodes close out the night from 11:20pm. There’s no Love Island tonight, main series or Unseen Bits — 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.

Verdict

Saturday’s ITV2 is a straightforward film night. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens the evening at 6:10pm, pauses for a few minutes of FYI Daily, then hands over to Baywatch at 9pm, which gets the same brief interruption before running through to 11:20pm.

There’s no Love Island tonight, main series or Unseen Bits, and the day otherwise runs on the usual Deal or No Deal, Dinner Date and Kung Fu Panda rotation — see the table above for the full day’s listings.
