As they say, all good things must come to an end and Love Island 2026 is no different. After approximately eight weeks of cracking on, we'll wave good bye to another series of our favourite dating show.

Hosted by the gorgeous Maya Jama, Love Island series 13 kicked off on Monday 1st June. Since then it's been a revolving door of bombshells and brutal dumpings.

When does Love Island 2026 end?

It's been revealed that Love island is set to end on Monday 27th July. While ITV haven't officially announced the finale date, this reported date lines up perfectly with our predictions so we think we can trust the sources on this one.

Shortly after Movie Night aired, an insider told The Sun: "There is around two and a half weeks of villa action left for this series, with the finale airing on the 27th.

"ITV won’t confirm the exact date until the middle of next week but it’s locked in for then."

The summer edition of Love Island almost always runs for around eight weeks, with the live final typically being held on a Monday night.

Series 12 followed the same pattern, launching on June 9th and coming to a close on August 4th. The year prior (2025) was the same, beginning June 3rd and ending on July 29th.

With this pattern in mind, we predicted that this year's series would come to a close on Monday 27th July.
