Forget the World Cup. Summer is the official season of Love Island, and so far, we’ve had plenty of drama to keep us glued to the TV screen. That said, fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Casa Amor, but when does it start?
Over on Love Island USA, Casa Amor dramatically kicked off this week, prompting many viewers over the pond to question whether the UK edition will follow suit. Here’s everything you need to know about when Casa Amor is happening on Love Island 2026…
When is Casa Amor happening on Love Island this year?
While there’s no official start date for Casa Amor, we can girl math our way to figuring out when it’ll return on the current season of Love Island. Looking back at previous seasons, Casa Amor typically started anywhere between days 25 and 32, which is often around the end of June and the beginning of July.
This year, Love Island premiered on June 1, so going by the above timeline, Casa Amor could begin within a matter of days.

How long is Casa Amor?
Again, there’s no fixed duration when it comes to Casa Amor, and perhaps the producers let it go on as long as the tests are testing, ensuring drama upon the cast’s return to the Main Villa.
Usually, however, Casa Amor lasts around four days.
But wait, is Casa Amor definitely happening?
With Casa Amor yet to materialise on screen, fans were sent into a frenzy following comments made by Yasmin Pettet on a recent episode of Love Island: The Debrief.

Speaking to her besties and former co-stars, Toni Laites and Shakira Khan, Yas hinted that Casa Amor might not happen at all this year. “If people are biting now, then imagine what happens if, like, potentially Casa Amor happens,” she said while commenting on the heads already being turned during The Sleepover challenge.
“Like if you’re already failing at the first hurdle, then it’s like, you know what you had with that person wasn’t real,” she went on. “And then if Casa Amor even happens, then you know, OK, well, I’m about to have some fun.”
Unsurprisingly, Yas’ uncertainty about Casa Amor concerned Love Island viewers on social media. “Are we not getting Casa this year?? Is The Sleepover Casa now?? I’m confused,” one person said on X. “There better be Casa Amor this season. I’m bored,” someone else added.
Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
