Love Island: All Stars 2026 release date speculation and latest news

It’s almost 2026, which means a new season of Love Island: All Stars – and all the drama, reality TV royalty and love matches that come with it – is on the horizon.

The series will be set in sunny South Africa once more. According to ITV, this season of All Stars will see “fan-favourite Islanders from across 10 years of the show return to the famous Villa in search of that much-wanted spark, while navigating the relationship dilemmas of bombshells, heads turning and what it truly means to be open.”

We also know that the series length will be extended this year, from 5 weeks to 6. Initially, All Stars was purposefully set as shorter series length than the regular Love Island so that fans didn’t get “fatigue”. But now after the success of All Stars we’re getting an extra week!

Love Island: All Stars has quickly established itself as a stand-alone hit, keeping fans of the show gripped by iconic Islanders from the past 10 years returning for another chance to find love,” Love Island‘s creative director Mike Spencer-Hayter has said.

“We are very excited about series 3 and you can expect the twists and turns to continue in All Stars, after an incredible smash hit summer series.”

Here’s everything we know so far about Love Island: All Stars 2026.

When does Love Island: All Stars 2026 start?

ITV has not confirmed when the 2026 series will begin yet, but we can make an educated guess that it will be Monday 12 January 2026, seeing as previous series have began on Monday 14 January and Monday 12 January in 2024 and 2025 respectively.

Who is hosting Love Island: All Stars 2026?

Our girl Maya Jama will return to front the beloved romantic reality TV series. She took over from previous host Laura Whitmore back in January 2023.
