Why Was Love Island USA Season 7 Not on Peacock? Delay Explained

Love Island USA fans were ready to turn up the heat on premiere night, but instead of villa drama, they were met with radio silence on Peacock. Confused viewers flooded social media, wondering if the premiere had been delayed, canceled, or simply forgotten.

Here’s what actually happened and why the episode didn’t appear on time.

Is Love Island USA Season 7’s premiere delayed or canceled for Peacock?

The delay was only temporary, and the Love Island USA Season 7 premiere on Peacock was not canceled.

Love Island USA fans were left confused and frustrated on what was supposed to be a sizzling Season 7 premiere night. Despite a heavily promoted June 3 launch time of 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT, the new season didn’t go live on Peacock as scheduled, leaving many viewers wondering if the episode had been canceled or if something had gone wrong behind the scenes.

Just one minute after the expected start time, Peacock posted an update on social media to address the issue. “WE GOT A TEXT! Tonight’s episode will be slightly delayed. But it is worth the wait. Stay tuned!” the network shared on X (formerly Twitter).

While U.S. viewers waited, fans in Canada reported that they were able to stream the premiere without delay on the CTV platform, suggesting that the issue was isolated to Peacock’s U.S. distribution and likely involved a technical glitch rather than a production or licensing issue.

Roughly 40 minutes later, the delay was resolved. At around 6:40 p.m. PT, Peacock confirmed that the episode was live: “Thank you for your patience! The Love Island USA episode is officially live now. Enjoy the premiere.”

The late drop didn’t dampen enthusiasm for long. Viewers finally got to see host Ariana Madix’s much-anticipated entrance. After her standout appearance as a guest bombshell in Season 5 and her hosting debut in Season 6, Madix returns in full form to lead Season 7, set in the tropical locale of Fiji.
