Coronation Street, Emmerdale and EastEnders have confirmed major schedule changes for next week.
As a summer of sporting coverage kicks off, the regular schedule of all three soaps will be impacted for a number of weeks.
A fortnight of Wimbledon coverage begins on the BBC next week, so EastEnders will move to BBC Two for its next four episodes.
Instead of its usual Monday-Thursday schedule, there will be two double bills of EastEnders on Monday and Tuesday evening (30 June and 1 July) at 7pm, with no episodes airing on Wednesday and Thursday (2 and 3 July).
It is likely that these double bills will each be available to watch on BBC iPlayer at 6am on Monday and Tuesday morning.

Meanwhile, the Women’s Euros 2025 starts on Wednesday, which will have an impact on the two ITV soaps for the duration of the football tournament.
Emmerdale airs as normal on Monday (30 June), then there is an hour-long instalment on Tuesday (1 July) at 7pm, instead of the usual 30-minute episode.
The show returns as normal on Wednesday (2 July) at the usual time of 7.30pm, but coverage of the Spain vs. Portugal and Germany vs. Poland games means there are no episodes on Thursday or Friday (3 and 4 July).
