EastEnders fans better brace for a schedule shakeup as the summer storylines spell drama for the people of Walford.
The BBC One soap will see its usual calendar rearranged so that Wimbledon and the Women’s Euro 2025 can take centre stage.
Fret not as EastEnders will still air the same number of weekly episodes, just in a lightly rejigged fashion.
Instead of sticking to the usual schedule of airing one episode daily from Monday to Thursday, the soap will put out a double bill on Wednesday, and one episode each on Thursday and Friday.
These changes will affect the week commencing on 7 July, with no episodes making the air on Monday, 7 July and Tuesday, 8 July.
