Is RTE a good way to watch Love Island Games?
RTE has broadcast Love Island regularly since at last 2019, when Limerick rugby player Greg O’Shea and his partner Amber Gill, who is from Newcastle in the UK, were announced as the winners of season X (per RTE[15]). RTE Player’s free content includes Love Island Games season 2 (2025), so RTE is a great way to catch up with the latest season of Love Island.
The platform is reported to have achieved “142 million streams, a record high for the platform” in 2024. This being a “42% increase from the previous year.”
One downside: RTE doesn’t offer streaming access to the original, Love Island Games (2024). Head over to the ITV.com[16] in the UK for that – all episodes are streaming for free now.
