EastEnders usually airs around 7:30pm every Monday through to Thursday on BBC One.
Four episodes a week of the long-running soap opera are shown on terrestrial TV.
However, extended sports coverage has meant that bosses were forced to make sweeping changes to the schedule.
Previously, EastEnders episodes were shown to viewers early on iPlayer due to coverage of the 2025 Wimbledon tennis tournament.
Even though Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the tense final, more sport will be shown on the corporation’s flagship channel.
Tonight at 7pm, Gabby Logan, 52, will take to the airwaves live from Zurich until 10:15pm.
She will front coverage of the latest match at the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 tournament as England take on Sweden.
The BBC News at 10 bulletin will actually start later at 10:15pm due to the extended coverage.
This means that bosses at the publicly funded broadcaster were forced to make changes for one the nation’s favourite soaps.
Two episodes of EastEnders were shown on Tuesday night (15th July) as the serial drama was knocked off the schedule for the 17th July.
EastEnders legend quits Walford in emotional scenes – leaving close friend devastated
Viewers got to see a double bill of episodes staring at 7:30pm for a full hour of Walford action.
This comes as an EastEnders legend quit Walford in extremely emotional scenes this week.
Nigel Bates returned to the square last year, after a 26-year absence from the long-running soap.
Fans found out that Nigel was battling early onset dementia as his friend Phil Mitchell took care of him in his home for months.
EastEnders facts and figures
THE beloved British soap has been captivating audiences for decades.
Jay Brown was worried about the strain this is putting on Phil, so he contacted Nigel’s wife Julie – who’d reported him missing.
It later transpired that Nigel lied to Phil about his split, as he had actually walked out on his marriage to protect Julie from eventually seeing his deteriorating condition.
Both Phil and Julie fought their case for Nigel to stay with them, but he elected to return to Scotland.
