Why isn't EastEnders on tonight and when is it on next?
EastEnders spoilers follow. EastEnders fans won't be getting their usual Friday night fix of Walford drama tonight (June 11) as the summer scheduling changes begin. The BBC soap is facing significant scheduling disruption due to Euro 2020, which was postponed for a year due to the pandemic. It's not just EastEnders having a shake-up, as both Coronation Street and Emmerdale are being impacted over on ITV as well. Kieron McCarron/Jack Barnes BBC  As we know, EastEnders usually occupies a regular Friday night slot, but it's been moved off tonight's schedule due to the opening game of the delayed tournament, which will see Turkey and Italy compete. Viewers were treated to two episodes on Tuesday (June 8) instead, meaning the same amount of output still aired across the week. EastEnders will return to our TV screens on Tuesday, June 15  when it will air twice again. It will also be making a rare Wednesday outing the following day on June 16  airing twice that evening as well. Kieron McCarron/Jack Barnes BBC  But if you can't wait until then, the good news is that all of next week's episodes will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer from 6am on Monday morning (June 14). Due to the Euros, BBC iPlayer will be premiering episodes of EastEnders for three weeks, beginning on June 14. Kieron McCarron/Jack Barnes BBC  Every Monday at 6am across those three weeks, four episodes of the soap will drop on iPlayer in one go. BBC One will still be airing those episodes throughout the week, but this way viewers will get to decide how and when they want to watch. "Giving EastEnders viewers the ability to decide when they drop in on all things Albert Square is something we're excited about," said executive producer Jon Sen.  "With the inevitable scheduling changes due to the Euros, something we'll be celebrating in Walford on screen, box setting all four episodes will ensure everyone gets their dose of drama and football fans won't miss out. "From indulging them all in one night, staggering across a few days or continuing to watch the episodes play out on BBC One, we hope the endless streaming options on BBC iPlayer keeps viewers content over the next few weeks." EastEnders continues on Tuesday, June 15, with preview episodes available to watch on BBC iPlayer from Monday, June 14.
