Watch New Episodes Of Love Island Free
There are two free methods to watch new episodes of Love Island if you don’t have cable. You can use a TV antenna if you live close enough to a CBS broadcast tower or stream CBS live with the free streaming service Locast. Locast streams the local CBS network live in over 50% of US households, and it is 100% free. You can even watch Locast using a streaming device. Locast supports Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, and Android TV.
Update: On September 1st, Locast lost a significant battle in court against the major broadcast networks. The Networks argued Locast "must secure the consent of the broadcasters to retransmit the broadcast signals." Locast defense claimed they qualified for a copyright-law exemption available to nonprofits. US District Court for the Southern District of New York found that Locast is not eligible for an exemption because it uses donations from viewers to fund its expansion into new TV markets. In response to the court loss, Locast said it was suspending its TV service on 9/2/2021.
You can read more in our review of Locast. You can try their service by downloading Locast to your favorite supported streaming device or on their website.
Both of these methods will allow you to watch Love Island live when the show airs. However, these free options do not provide a way to watch on-demand. You can use an OTA DVR with a TV antenna, however, that is an added expense.
