The Love Island 2026 final airs tonight (Monday 27 July) after eight weeks of romance, drama, tears, arguments, love and friendships, but what time does it start and how long is it on for?

Ahead of the final episode, there are four couples still in the running to win the show and take home the £50,000 prize: Lorenzo and Julia, Jasmine and Kavan, Yasmin and Tommy, Angelista and Simba.

Tonight, one more couple will be dumped before the final vote in a shock new finale twist.

All will be revealed when the Love Island final starts at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX. Here's what time it finishes.

What time does Love Island 2026 final start tonight?

The final episode of Love Island 2026 airs tonight on ITV2 and ITVX at 9PM, as usual.

After last night's cliffhanger, the episode will reveal who Mica and Samraj have chosen to leave the villa them as only three couples can make it to the final. (Viewers already have their theories...)

After the vote, Maya Jama will then reveal the third and second place couples, with the winners being crowned towards the end of the episode.

As always, the Love Island final will see host Maya chat to the couples before replaying some of their best bits to an audience that will include the dumped islanders, including recently dumped couple Aidan and Priya.

The Love Island 2026 final will actually be shorter than last year's final. Per TV Guide, the final episode will end at 10:20PM tonight, which means it'll be one hour and 20 minutes long (including ad breaks, of course).

In that time, we'll get to see Maya grill our three final couples before one of them is named the winner of the show.
