This week EastEnders will face major disruption to its usual schedule on the BBC due to Euro 2024, which won’t be a shock for some.
The tournament kicked off last Friday but over the next few days, the soap won’t be airing on its regular BBC channel because of clashing with some of the championship matches.
Although viewers will still be getting all the gossip from Albert Square Monday to Friday at 7.30pm, EastEnders will be moving to a different channel throughout the week.
This might be good news for some fans as sometimes when the football is on, an episode can be removed from the BBC schedule completely.
