    I've got a text—Love Island is back! Just two months after Love Island USA season 7 came to an end (and three weeks since that eventful reunion), it's time to head back to Fiji for Love Island Games season 2.

    For anyone new here, Love Island Games first debuted in November 2023, bringing together former Islanders from across the globe (including Love Island USA, UK, Australia, and more) for another season of fun and flirting. Season 2 began on September 16, 2025, with Ariana Madix taking over hosting duties and franchise stars from near and far—there's a Love Island Malta?—joining the competition. Below, read on to learn everything you need to know about the cast of Love Island Games season 2, including how to follow them on social media.
