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

Updated: 20 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, since the show remains off air between seasons. Instead, Sunday 20 September 2026 runs a single Harry Potter film into the channel’s own reality format: Goblet of Fire from 5:55pm, then two Big Brother launches from 9pm. Two Family Guy episodes close the night.

What’s on ITV2 today

Sunday’s ITV2 day opens just after midnight with two American Dad! episodes, before Plebs, Transaction and a short Totally Bonkers Guinness World Records run carry things into the small hours, ahead of Teleshopping from 3am.

Totally Bonkers Guinness World Records and Dinner Date open the day properly at 6am, then two helpings of Peter Andre’s 60 Minute Makeover fill breakfast. Two Deal or No Deal episodes and The Voice UK follow through the morning, then Celebrity Catchphrase and two runs of Madagascar carry the schedule into the afternoon, where two Harry Potter films — Prisoner of Azkaban from 3:15pm, then Goblet of Fire from 5:55pm — take over ahead of tonight’s evening line-up.

ITV2 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV2 primetime line-up for tonight, Sunday 20 September 2026.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire — ITV2, 5:55pm

The fourth Harry Potter film gets a rare single outing rather than a double bill tonight, starting just before 6pm. A short FYI Daily break splits the broadcast at 6:55pm, and the film picks straight back up at 7pm to run through to 9pm — worth knowing if the picture suddenly cuts to an ad-style bumper partway through, since it isn’t a second showing starting from scratch.

Big Brother — ITV2, 9pm

Big Brother returns for a new episode once the film wraps up, with the main house drama taking the 9pm slot.

Big Brother: The Group Chat — ITV2, 10pm

The companion spin-off follows straight after at 10pm, sifting through the day’s footage and giving eliminated housemates and pundits room to react to what’s just aired.

Family Guy — ITV2, 11:05pm–11:35pm

Two Family Guy episodes close the night back to back, drawn from different points in the show’s run (series 14 first, then series 8) rather than a matched pair — typical of how ITV2 slots its late-night animation reruns together.

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. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire runs from 5:55pm, with a short break at 6:55pm before continuing at 7pm through to 9pm, when two new Big Brother episodes launch. Two Family Guy episodes close the night from 11:05pm. 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

Tonight’s ITV2 shape is a film handing over to the channel’s own reality format rather than a double bill: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire runs from 5:55pm, breaking briefly at 6:55pm before finishing at 9pm, when the schedule turns over to two new Big Brother episodes back to back.

There’s still no Love Island on the channel, which remains between seasons, so the film and the Big Brother launches carry the night before Family Guy closes things out from 11:05pm. See the table above for the full day’s listings.
