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

Published: 18 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 tonight either, since the show remains off air between seasons. Instead, Saturday 19 September 2026 hands the evening over to a straight double bill of the first two Harry Potter films, running from 5pm through to just after 11pm. Two Family Guy episodes close the night once the films finish.

Saturday’s ITV2 day opens just after midnight with American Dad! and two Bob’s Burgers episodes, before Deal or No Deal and Unwind with ITV carry things into the small hours, ahead of Teleshopping from 3am.

Dinner Date opens the day properly at 6am, then three helpings of Peter Andre’s 60 Minute Makeover fill breakfast and mid-morning. Three more Deal or No Deal episodes follow, then The Box, Celebrity Catchphrase and two runs of Penguins of Madagascar carry the schedule into the evening ahead of tonight’s Harry Potter double bill.

ITV2 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV2 primetime line-up for tonight, Saturday 19 September 2026.

FYI Daily — ITV2, 6pm

A short sponsored-content break ahead of tonight’s film run.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone — ITV2, 6:05pm

The double bill starts here: the first film in the series, following Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry through his opening year at Hogwarts. Chamber of Secrets follows straight after.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets — ITV2, 8pm

The second half of tonight’s pairing brings Harry back for his sophomore year, though the 9pm ad break splits the film into two sittings rather than running it straight through.

FYI Daily — ITV2, 9pm

A second short break, falling partway through Chamber of Secrets.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets — ITV2, 9:05pm

The film resumes after the break and runs through to just after 11pm.

Family Guy — ITV2, 11:10pm

Two episodes close out the schedule once the films wrap up. This one comes from the show’s fourteenth run (series 14, episode 14).

Family Guy — ITV2, 11:35pm

An older outing from series eight follows straight after, taking the channel towards midnight (series 8, episode 18).

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?

There’s no Love Island tonight, since the show is off air between seasons. Instead it’s a straight double bill of the first two Harry Potter films, Philosopher’s Stone from 5pm and Chamber of Secrets from 8pm, broken up by short ad-break slots. Two Family Guy episodes close the night from 11:10pm. 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

Saturday’s ITV2 doesn’t build to one big event so much as hand the whole evening over to a single double bill: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone from 5pm straight into Chamber of Secrets from 8pm, each broken up by a short ad-break slot rather than running straight through.

There’s still no Love Island on the channel, which remains between seasons, so the two films carry the night largely unchallenged before Family Guy closes things out from 11:10pm. See the table above for the full day’s listings.
