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

Published: 13 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. There’s no Love Island on Monday 14 September 2026 either — the show stays off air between seasons — but Big Brother keeps its regular nightly slot at 9pm, followed by companion show The Group Chat at 10pm, after an early evening built around Wheel of Fortune and The 1% Club Kids Special. Two Family Guy episodes close the night.

What’s on ITV2 today

Monday’s ITV2 day opens just after midnight with Family Guy, then two American Dad! episodes and Plebs carry the schedule into the small hours, ahead of Teleshopping from 3am.

Backyard Builds and Dinner Date open the day from 6am, then a long run of imported reality carries things through: two Real Housewives instalments, two goes at The Only Way Is Essex, Dawson’s Creek, Charmed, Deal or No Deal, Supermarket Sweep and Wheel of Fortune, before Celebrity Catchphrase leads into tonight’s primetime at 6pm.

ITV2 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV2 primetime line-up for tonight, Monday 14 September 2026.

Celebrity Catchphrase — ITV2, 6pm

Stephen Mulhern hosts the celebrity spin-off of the daytime picture-clue gameshow, playing for a nominated charity rather than cash.

Wheel of Fortune — ITV2, 7pm

The revived spin-and-guess format keeps its early-evening berth, contestants working through letter rounds for a shot at the bonus wheel.

The 1% Club Kids Special — ITV2, 8pm

Lee Mack’s logic-puzzle quiz gets a younger line-up for this one-off, working up from questions almost everyone gets right to the percentage-based rounds that catch out most adults.

Big Brother — ITV2, 9pm

Big Brother settles into its ordinary nightly rhythm rather than anything eventful — a regular instalment of house life, not a launch or a live eviction. Expect the usual mix of tasks, arguments and nominations fallout.

Big Brother: The Group Chat — ITV2, 10pm

Kate Lawler and GK Barry front the companion discussion show straight after, working through the night’s episode with evicted housemates and celebrity guests.

Family Guy — ITV2, 11:05pm and 11:35pm

Two episodes close the night, part of the channel’s long-running late block of Seth MacFarlane’s animated sitcom.

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?

Big Brother holds its regular 9pm slot, with companion show The Group Chat following at 10pm. Wheel of Fortune and The 1% Club Kids Special lead in from 7pm, and two Family Guy episodes close the night from 11:05pm. 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

Monday’s ITV2 keeps a steady rhythm rather than building to one big event: Wheel of Fortune and The 1% Club Kids Special lead into Big Brother’s regular 9pm slot, with The Group Chat following at 10pm, then two Family Guy episodes close things out.

There’s still no Love Island on the channel — it remains between seasons — so Big Brother carries the evening alone rather than sharing the billing with a second flagship format. See the table above for the full day’s listings.
