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.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
