July 1st 2024.
There are still two weeks left for Peter to wear his Becks costume. The fans of soap operas may be disappointed to hear that their favorite shows, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, and EastEnders, will have their schedules disrupted to accommodate the live sports coverage of UEFA European Football Championship 2024, also known as Euro 2024. This event has caused a division among the fans, with some arguing over which show deserves the prime time slot.
The championship, which happens every four years, was pushed back to 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The group stages began on June 14th and will continue until the final match in Berlin on July 14th. As schedules are only released a week in advance, we can only speculate on how much longer our soap operas will be affected.
But don't worry, there's more sports coverage to come. Wimbledon, the oldest tennis tournament in the world, will also be airing on BBC One. This will only affect BBC One, as they have the rights to air the tournament. But don't fret, we have all the information you need to keep up with your favorite soaps.
So when will Coronation Street and Emmerdale be off the air? Tonight, on Monday, July 1st, the shows will air at a later time to make room for the match between France and Belgium. Tomorrow, July 2nd, there will be no Emmerdale on ITV1, but you can catch the match between Romania and Netherlands, followed by Austria and Turkiye. The rest of the week will see the soaps airing at their usual times, with a few later slots. In case you miss them, you can always tune in to ITVX from 7am each morning.
As for EastEnders, the BBC has made some changes to their schedule. You can now watch it on BBC iPlayer from 6am each day, before it airs on TV. And on select days, BBC Two will air episodes to make up for the ones that can't be aired during the sports coverage. It may sound confusing, but we'll guide you through it.
On BBC One, France vs Belgium and Portugal vs Slovenia will air on Monday, July 1st. On Tuesday, July 2nd, Romania vs Netherlands and Australia vs Group F winner will be shown, with coverage of Wimbledon on BBC Two. On Wednesday and Thursday, two episodes of EastEnders will air on BBC Two, while BBC One continues with Wimbledon coverage. Friday will be business as usual, with no EastEnders airing.
But what about Casualty? Unfortunately, there will be no new episodes this week on BBC One or BBC Two due to the coverage of England vs Switzerland and Wimbledon. Hopefully, they'll be back soon. But don't worry, other shows like Hollyoaks and Neighbours will not be affected.
