The UK did it first, hitting hard with drama-filled dating TV and now the US is here. For those big fans in America, you can now watch Love Island USA online! Exciting news? We think so.

Now, that news will either fill you with euphoria or leave you perplexed, asking yourself 'what's a Love Island?'. And if you fall into the latter of those groups, you are in for a treat. 

A show that dumps a group of singletons into a remote villa, leaving them to couple up, complete challenges and fight (metaphorically) for a big cash prize, Love Island UK has been winning over the British public for half a decade. And now - after a cult following has formed in the States - there is finally a US version, meaning you can watch Love Island USA online and root for your favorite couples. 

So, of course, the question you're here for - where and when can I watch this dating phenomenon take place? Well the first episode airs tonight (July 9) at 8pm ET, 7pm CT, 8pm PT with a special pilot 90 minute episode.

From then on, you can tune in nightly, Monday to Friday (yes, this is a daily occurrence) at that same time to see what the islanders have been up to. With no internet access and very little to do, that tends to involve some odd interactions.
