How to watch Love Island Australia season 8 from anywhere

The Love Island franchise has become an unstoppable juggernaut, with summer and winter seasons, celebrity versions and international spin-offs that follow the same winning formula.

You get a bunch of single men, add some single women, throw in some surprise bombshells and let life - and possibly love - happen. The cast must ‘couple up’ with those who catch their eye, and at the end of the series, one couple is voted the winning pair.

When the public decide which remaining couple is their favourite, they get the choice to either split a $50,000 cash prize or one half of the couple can decide to keep all the money themselves.

How to watch Love Island Australia in the UK

At the time of writing, there's not a confirmed launch date for Love Island Australia season 8 in the UK. However, it's a fair assumption that, like the previous seasons so far, it'll be shown exclusively on ITV and ITVX.

Currently, all episodes of Love Island Australia seasons 5, 6 and 7 are available to stream on the ITVX platform.

If you're watching on ITVX, all you need is an ITVX account and a valid TV license to stream content.

How to watch Love Island Australia from anywhere

You’ve got a few options to consider if you want to watch Love Island Australia from anywhere in the world. If you’re waiting for an official UK launch date, you can still access your ITVX account from anywhere with the use of a Virtual Private Network - a VPN.

A VPN allows you to change your IP address to that of the area where you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to the series, even if you're not there.

Our sister site, TechRadar, has tested all of the major VPN services and they rate Nord to be the absolute best.

You can also try this method if you’re impatient and want to establish a free Australian 9Now account from the UK. Using the VPN could allow you to set up a profile for the Aussie streamer that shows all current broadcast episodes of Love Island Australia, as well as keeping up with the new ones the day after they air.

If you've never installed a VPN before, don't worry, it's quick and easy. Just follow these three steps:

Download and install the VPN following NordVPN's easy-to-follow instructions.
Once you've installed your VPN, open the app and select your server location to your selected country of residence.
With your VPN installed and server location set, you can now watch Love Island Australia on 9Now.

Where is Love Island Australia filmed?

For the eighth season of Love Island Australia, the cast of hopeful romantics have been whisked away to a villa in Fiji. Fans of the Love Island franchise might recognise the villa - it was previously used for past seasons of Love Island USA.

Jack Slater is not the Last Action Hero, but that's what comes up first when you Google him. Preferring a much more sedentary life, Jack gets his thrills by covering news, entertainment, celebrity, film and culture for woman&home, and other digital publications.

Having written for various print and online publications—ranging from national syndicates to niche magazines—Jack has written about nearly everything there is to write about, covering LGBTQ+ news, celebrity features, TV and film scoops, reviewing the latest theatre shows lighting up London’s West End and the most pressing of SEO based stories.
