June 2 marks the Season 8 premiere, with new episodes dropping at 6 p.m. PT and 9 p.m. ET on Peacock.
The rollout starts with daily episodes in the first week, then shifts to a Thursday-through-Tuesday schedule, while Saturdays carry the companion "Love Island Aftersun" show.
Season 8 follows the franchise’s familiar format: singles live together in a camera-filled villa, recouple to avoid being dumped, and face fan and cast votes that shape eliminations.
More than 80 cameras track the action in near real time, and twists such as Casa Amor bring in new contestants to test existing pairings.
Recent seasons ran about six weeks with 36 to 37 episodes including reunions, pointing to another extended summer run through June and July.
