It always seems like our favourite soaps are getting shifted around every time there's a big sporting event on and that's exactly what's happened now that the FIFA World Cup has started. With lots of matches being shown on BBC One, EastEnders is either being moved to a new channel or a new slot to accommodate all of the football being shown at the moment.
Fear not though, you're still able to get your daily dose of Albert Square drama, but it might not be in its usual time or place.
If you're wondering whether EastEnders is on tonight, or where you can watch it, we've put together a handy guide.
When is EastEnders on?
EastEnders bosses announced a major scheduling change back in February 2022. As of the week commencing 7 March 2022, EastEnders no longer airs on Friday evenings. The soap will instead air at 7.30pm every night from Monday to Thursday.
Is EastEnders on tonight?
Although EastEnders usually airs at 7.30pm every night from Monday to Thursday, changes are occasionally made to the schedule when there is a big sporting event like Wimbledon or the FIFA World Cup or if there is breaking news.
The FIFA World Cup 2022 commenced on Sunday 20 November, with matches being split between BBC One and ITV1. If BBC One are showing a match which starts at 7pm, then it means that unfortunately EastEnders won't be in its regular slot.
The EastEnders schedule for the week commencing Monday 28 November is as follows:
-
Monday 28 November: 7pm - 7.30pm, BBC One (part one) and 7.30pm - 8pm (part two)
-
Tuesday 29 November: No episodes
-
Wednesday 30 November: No episodes
-
Thursday 1 December: 7pm - 7.30pm, BBC One (part one) and 7.30pm - 8pm (part two)
Of course, if you're unable to watch EastEnders when it's on TV then you'll also be able to catch up on the BBC iPlayer. Episodes will even be available 12 hours early, from 6am, on the iPlayer.
Is there an EastEnders omnibus?
The EastEnders omnibus was officially scrapped by the BBC in 2017. However, you can binge watch the soap to your hearts' content on BBC iPlayer.
