ITV’s streaming service ITVX has reported its best month on record in June, helped by Euros 2024 coverage, the latest series of Love Island and a selection of new dramas.
ITVX had 375.8 million streams across the month of June, up 54% year on year.
The broadcaster said that Sunday 30th June was ITVX’s biggest ever day in streaming, thanks to ITV’s coverage of England’s victory over Slovakia, Spain’s win against Georgia and Love Island contributing to a total of over 30 million streams across the day.

The 19 Euro 2024 matches on ITV in June were streamed just under 84 million times, with the current series of Love Island up to 76 million streams after 28 episodes, which is up 10 million on the comparable point in the series last year.
New dramas drawing strong audiences in June include DC superhero series The Flash, comedic crime thriller Bay of Fires, and the UK premiere of Orphan Black: Echoes starring Krysten Ritter and Keeley Hawes. Commissioned dramas including Red Eye and Douglas Is Cancelled continue to grow and were also top performers in the period.
Craig Morris, ITVX Managing Editor, said: “We’re delighted that more people than ever before came to ITVX in June. They come in for a football match or Love Island but then stay to binge on the hundreds of films and TV shows now available.”
