When EastEnders is on this week amid BBC schedule changes

The BBC has confirmed a change to schedules this week due to ongoing disruption caused by the FA Cup – and this means that EastEnders fans may be left waiting for their fix.

The soap usually airs Monday to Thursday, at 7:30pm on BBC One. These episodes are also made available early for BBC iPlayer viewers, which can be viewed on the service from 6am that day.

However, with the football causing all manner of chaos this week, schedules are set to change again. But what does this mean for EastEnders?

This will mean little to fans who get their EastEnders fix via streaming – as the iPlayer schedule remains the same, with one new episode landing at 6am on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

However, things are a little different for BBC One, which will skip Tuesday and Wednesday’s episodes. Instead, EastEnders will air as normal tonight (Monday, February 26), before resuming on Thursday (February 29) at 7:30pm.

It will then air a double episode on Friday (March 1), starting at 7:30pm.
