With multiple versions of the global phenomenon running throughout the year, keeping track of the final episode dates, hosts, and prize money can be a challenge.

We have the confirmed, official dates for both major finales, so you can mark your calendars and prepare for the ultimate public vote.
The final weeks of any Love Island season are typically the most intense, featuring the iconic Final Dates, the emotional declarations of love, and the nerve-wracking process of the final four couples being chosen by the public. Whether you’re glued to the drama unfolding in the Fiji villa for Love Island USA or the sun-drenched Majorca villa for Love Island UK, here is your essential, up-to-date guide to the biggest nights in reality television.
Confirmed Love Island Finale Dates for Summer 2025
The 2025 summer schedule has been packed with romance, recouplings, and explosive dumpings. From Casa Amor chaos to dramatic bombshell arrivals, the journey for the Islanders is almost over. The final night is where the public crowns their favorite couple, who then face the ultimate test: choosing whether to split or steal the massive cash prize. Here are the confirmed dates for the two most-watched versions of the show.
1. Love Island USA Season 7 Finale Date
The latest season of Love Island USA, streaming exclusively on Peacock, is set to conclude its run in mid-July, bringing the drama from the Fiji villa to a spectacular close.
- Official Finale Date: Sunday, July 13, 2025.
- Time: 6 pm Pacific Time (PT) / 9 pm Eastern Time (ET).
- Host: The finale will be hosted by the returning fan-favorite, Ariana Madix.
- Prize Money: The winning couple will receive a total of $100,000.
- How to Watch: The final episode will be available to stream on Peacock.
The seventh season, which premiered on June 3, 2025, has been a whirlwind of unexpected connections and controversial moments. By the final night, four couples will remain to compete for the public's vote. The dramatic "split or steal" twist remains a key part of the finale, where one member of the winning couple is given the choice to keep the entire $100,000 prize or split it with their partner, a moment that always sparks intense debate among viewers and is a core element of the show's format.
Key Islanders like Amaya Espinal, Bryan Arenales, Nic Vansteenberghe, and Olandria Carthen have been central to the season’s narrative, with fans eagerly anticipating which final pairings will make it through the final dumpings and Casa Amor fallout to reach the grand finale.
2. Love Island UK Summer 2025 (Series 12) Finale Date
The UK’s flagship summer series, Love Island Series 12, is a staple of British summer television. The show, which typically runs for eight weeks, is scheduled to conclude in early August.
- Official Finale Date: Monday, August 4, 2025.
- Time: 9 pm BST on ITV2 and ITVX.
- Host: The final will be hosted live by the stunning Maya Jama, live from the Majorca villa.
- Prize Money: The winning couple will share the traditional £50,000 cash prize.
- Final Episode Length: The grand finale is expected to be a longer episode, slated to last 95 minutes.
Having launched on Monday, June 9, 2025, the season has been full of the signature UK drama, including the journey of contestants like Toni Laites and Cach Mercer, who have navigated the tumultuous waters of the villa. The final stretch of the competition is always marked by the emotional "declaration of love" speeches, where the remaining Islanders read out heartfelt letters to their partners, often bringing the entire villa to tears. The final decision rests entirely with the public, who vote for the couple they believe is the most deserving of the title and the £50,000 prize.
A Look Back: Love Island All Stars 2025 Finale
While the summer series take center stage, the year 2025 also kicked off with a successful run of Love Island: All Stars, which brought back iconic contestants from previous seasons for a second chance at love. This season provides key context for the year's overall Love Island topical authority and schedule.
- Series: Love Island: All Stars Series 2
- Finale Date: Monday, February 17, 2025.
- Duration: The series lasted 36 days.
- Winners: The series was won by Casey O'Gorman and Gabby Allen, who were crowned the champions.
- Prize: They also walked away with a £50,000 cash prize.
The success of the All Stars format, which included previous Islanders from various seasons, demonstrated the enduring popularity of the franchise and set a high bar for the drama and romance that followed in the summer editions. The final was a major event, with Casey and Gabby winning over the public with their late-breaking, but genuine, connection.
What to Expect on Love Island’s Final Night
The finale of any Love Island season is a unique, extended episode that deviates from the daily format. It is a live broadcast, often held outdoors at the villa, with a studio audience and the host present. The atmosphere is celebratory, but the tension is palpable as the final couples await the results of the public vote. This format is consistent across both the UK and USA versions, with a few key elements that are essential to the finale experience.
The Final Four Couples
In the days leading up to the final, the Islanders are typically asked to vote for the couple they believe is the least compatible. This, combined with public votes, whittles the number down to the final four couples who will compete for the top prize. For Love Island USA Season 7, the final four will be announced shortly before the July 13th finale, with couples like Amaya and Bryan or Nic and Olandria being strong contenders.
The Declaration of Love
A tradition in both the UK and USA series, the final day sees each Islander write a heartfelt letter to their partner, which they read out loud. These declarations are often the most emotional moments of the entire season, serving as a final, public affirmation of their connection before the public's decision is revealed. It’s a crucial moment for securing those last-minute votes from the audience at home.
The Split or Steal Twist
The climax of the finale, particularly in the USA version, is the moment the winning couple is announced. Each partner is then given an envelope. One contains the full prize money ($100,000 or £50,000), and the other contains nothing. The person with the money must choose whether to "Split" the prize with their partner or "Steal" it all for themselves. While the vast majority of winning couples choose to split the money, the potential for a shocking "steal" adds a layer of unforgettable suspense to the final moments of the series. This twist is the ultimate test of whether the love is genuine or simply a game for the cash.
