What is Love Island: All Stars Season 3’s new premiere date?
The new season now launches on Thursday, January 15, at 9 p.m. on ITV2 and ITVX. It has a two-day delay on Peacock, so the first episode is expected to drop in the U.S. on Saturday, January 17.
In a series first, ITV will air an extra episode on Saturday night in the U.K., so there will be seven straight days of Love Island: All Stars during the first week.
Why was Love Island: All Stars Season 3 postponed?
The Love Island: All Stars villa is located in South Africa’s Western Cape, which is currently experiencing wildfires. On Saturday, January 10, authorities told residents and tourists to prepare for evacuation, per the Times of India. Firefighters experienced difficulties managing the blaze due to smoke, dry conditions, and strong winds.

“Further to a production evacuation owing to ongoing wildfires in the area, our assessment of the location site has concluded that filming will need to be postponed,” says the show’s January 11 statement on Instagram, which added that “health and safety is our greatest priority and will always come first.”
In place of the spinoff’s first episode, ITV2 and ITVX aired the 10-year anniversary special Love Island: A Decade of Love. It was originally released in June 2025, featuring fan-favorite Islanders like Dani Dyer, Curtis Pritchard, Liam Reardon, and Millie Court — who is set to appear in Love Island: All Stars Season 3 — as they revisited the show’s most iconic moments.
