When is the Love Island final 2026? For Love Island U.K. Series 13, the answer is Monday, July 27, when the finale airs at 9 p.m. BST. U.S. viewers get a live option at 4 p.m. ET, while the Hulu version arrives on a three-day delay.
The timing gives viewers both a live end point in the U.K. and an earlier broadcast window in the U.S., which makes the finale a same-day event on both sides of the Atlantic. That split matters most for anyone trying to watch before spoilers surface.
Maya Jama and the last cut
Maya Jama has hinted that there may be one more dumping before Monday's finale, so the final lineup may still shift before the season closes. That is the only moving part left in a schedule that is otherwise fixed: the series wraps up on Monday, July 27.
Series 13 is running on the format's usual rhythm, with new episodes airing Sunday through Friday and a typical total length of around eight weeks. ITV has yet to set the exact length of this season on record, which leaves the finale date doing more work than usual as the clearest guide to the end of the run.
ITV2 and ITVX timing
Love Island airs in the U.K. on ITV2 and streams on ITVX, so the finale lands in the same places viewers already use during the season. For U.S. viewers, the live path is the cleaner one at 4 p.m. ET or 1 p.m. PT; Hulu is the delayed route, not the same-night one.
The practical move is simple: if you want the result in real time, use the live broadcast windows rather than waiting for the U.S. stream. That is the difference between reacting to the ending as it happens and arriving after the winner is already decided.
July 27 closes Series 13
July 27 is the night that matters, because it ends Series 13 and may still include one last dumping before the finalists are locked in. If you are watching from the U.S., the live window is 4 p.m. ET; if you are waiting for Hulu, the episode lands three days later, which turns the finale from an event into a replay.
