Love Island Games: Preview
Love Island producers love a crossover. First we saw a couple of Aussies enter the villa in January's winter iteration of Love Island UK. Season 10's Scott van-der Sluis was later seen cracking on in Fiji in the US version. Bringing back past Love Island stars, Peacock announced a Love Island spin-off, the Love Island Games, which puts a second chance twist on the reality show's usual format. Find out how to watch Love Island Games online from anywhere, and stream the first season from start to finish.
Love Island Games brought together islanders from villas past across the show's various versions, including the US, UK, and Australia, with Love Island UK's Maya Jama hosting the spin-off. Not simply a journey to finding love, the show featured a whole lot of game playing too as islanders competed in their couples for a $100,000 cash prize.
From the UK show, Scott Van-der-Sluis made his third appearance in a Love Island villa this year. Other British islanders included Megan Barton-Hanson, Eyal Booker, Curtis Pritchard, and she's so loyal, Georgia Steel. From the States, viewers could reacquaint themselves with Zeta Morrison, Justine Ndiba, and Ray Gantt. Down Under, returning islanders include Callum Hole, Jessica Losurdo, and Mitch Hibberd.
As well as a stronghold of British, American, and Aussie babes, Aurelia Lamprecht joined the line-up from Germany, Lisa Celander from Sweden, and Steph Blackos from France. You can check out the full line-up below.
The spin-off took place Fiji, with Maya Jama leading contestants through challenges that ultimately decided who islanders would couple up with and who got dumped from the island.
There were also plenty of the franchise's trademark recoupling ceremonies, with drama heating up around the iconic fire pit. You can now watch Love Island Games online and stream its first season from start to finish. Alternatively, we explain how to watch Love Island All Stars in our new guide, which will include past UK islanders exclusively, starting in January 2024.

Who Hosted Love Island Games?
Maya Jama is hosting the Love Island Games. Taking over as the UK iterations host from Laura Whitmore in 2023 for Season 9, Maya Jama has not long announced the winners of Love Island UK Season 10, and is now also taking up the hosting mantel of hosting the Love Island spin-off.
She is joined by the dulcet tones of Iain Stirling, who does voiceover for both UK and USA iterations of Love Island. For those disappointed not to see the return of the iconic Maura Higgins in the Love Island Games line-up, you'll be happy to know her zinger one-liners will be put to use as the Social Ambassador for the season, with plenty of behind the scenes gossip from the villa over on the Love Island USA social channels.
Where Was Love Island Games Filmed?
The Love Island Games spin-off was pre-filmed in Fiji, which is where Love Island USA Season 1 and 5 were filmed.
Is Love Island Games The Same As Love Island: All Stars?
Desparate to cling onto the highs of the Love Island franchise's early success, versions of the show reuniting old islanders for another go seem to be popping up like old flames looking to reignite something the moment you've moved on.
Two versions of the show have been announced either side of the Atlantic, so you'd be forgiven for being confused.
Love Island Games began streaming exclusively on Peacock in the US from November 1 and brought together stars that have previously appeared in Love Island villas around the world, particularly the US, UK, and Australia.
Meanwhile, ITV (the original producers of the show since its revival in the UK in 2015) announced on September 5 Love Island All Stars, which will bring back islanders from across all ten seasons of Love Island UK and will begin airing in January 2024.
Whether or not you're keen for one or both versions of the "All Stars" format, Maya Jama will certainly be happy with her upcoming pay checks as she's billed to host both series.
