The seventh season of the American version of the television reality program Love Island premiered on June 3, 2025. The season is hosted by Ariana Madix.
Format
Love Island is a reality television program where a large group of contestants, who are referred to as "Islanders," are living in a villa in Fiji. The Islanders are cut off from the outside world and are under constant video surveillance. To survive in the villa, the islanders must be in a relationship with another islander. The Islanders couple up for the first time on first impressions but will later "re-couple" at special ceremonies where they can choose to remain with their current partners or to switch partners. At the villa, the couples must share a bed for sleeping and are permitted to talk with other Islanders at any time, allowing them to get to know everyone. While in the villa, each Islander has their own telephone, with which they can contact other Islanders via text and can receive text messages informing them of the latest challenges, dates, dumpings, and re-couplings. While the Islanders might appear to have unmediated access to the outside world, they are limited in both their alcohol consumption and communication with the outside world.
The Love Islanders are presented with many games and challenges that are designed to test their physical and mental abilities, after which the winners are sometimes presented with special prizes, such as a night at the Hideaway or a special date.
Islanders can be eliminated, or "dumped," for several reasons; these include remaining single after a re-coupling and by public vote through the Love Island mobile app. During the show's final week, members of the public vote to decide which couple should win the series; the couple who receive the most votes win.
At the envelope ceremony on finale night, the couple who received the highest number of votes from the public is given two envelopes: one for each partner. One envelope contains while the other is empty. The partner with the envelope may choose whether to share the money with his or her partner as a test of trust and commitment.

Notes
: Charlie and Cierra entered the Villa after the initial coupling and had to recouple with one of the islanders who offered to be their partner on Day 3. Yulissa was removed from the Villa, leaving Ace single. As no girl volunteered to recouple with Charlie, he remained single. Ace (by default), Austin, Nic & Taylor volunteered leaving their couple to be considered for the recoupling. Cierra decided to steal Nic, leaving Belle-A single. : America voted for which Islanders the new bombshells should couple up with. America chose Jalen to couple up with Olandria, Pepe to couple up with Hannah and Iris to couple up with Jeremiah. This left Taylor, Charlie, and Huda single and vulnerable. The non-recoupled Islanders then had to choose one of them to be dumped. Charlie received the most votes, dumping him from the Villa. : On Day 13, all the Islanders made their coupling decisions privately. The girls went behind a closed door, and afterward, the boys chose who they wanted to couple up with. Any girl who did not have her door opened, as well as any boy who was locked out, would remain single and vulnerable. : The safe couples had to stand behind the vulnerable islander they wanted to save. The islander who received the fewest votes would be dumped. Jalen received the fewest votes, dumping him from the Villa. : America voted for their favorite islanders. The top four girls and the top three boys who received the most votes were granted safety. As new islanders, Andreina and TJ were exempt from the vote. The four safe girls then had to decide which vulnerable girl to dump, choosing Hannah, and the three safe boys had to decide which vulnerable boy to dump, choosing Jeremiah. : As the first part for the Casa Amor twist in week 3, Casa Amor and the Villa held two separate initial coupling ceremonies with their new islanders. After the initial couplings, Amaya and TJ were single and vulnerable. On Day 18, any new islander could choose to recouple with an original islander. Zak volunteered leaving Olandria to couple up with Amaya, Vanna volunteered leaving Ace to couple up with TJ, Coco volunteered leaving Taylor to couple with Ace, and Clarke volunteered leaving Nic to couple up with Taylor, leaving Olandria and Nic single and vulnerable. Nic and Olandria were sent on a secret date where they faced a choice: they could either remain single and leave the island or couple up together and return to the main Villa. They decided to couple up and return to the main Villa. : As the final part for the Casa Amor twist in week 3, Casa Amor and the Villa held a joint re-coupling ceremony. Both islanders had to choose one another to officially become a couple. Coco, Elan, JD, Olandria, Vanna and Zac were not mutually chosen to be in a couple and remained single and vulnerable. The Casa Amor islanders then had to choose one boy to save and the main Villa islanders had to choose one girl to save. The islanders chose Elan and Olandria to save, leaving Coco, JD, Vanna and Zac dumped from the Villa. : America voted for their favorite islanders. The top girls and the top boys who received the most votes were granted safety, while the bottom girls and the bottom boys were vulnerable and at risk to be dumped. The safe islanders had to stand behind the islander they wanted to save. Taylor received the most votes to stay which meant Andreina, Austin, Gracyn, Jaden, and TJ were dumped from the Villa. : America voted for their favorite couples. The couple who received the least votes, Clarke and Taylor, was dumped from the Villa.
