Soap fans, we’re sorry to say that Coronation Street, Emmerdale and EastEnders’ schedules will continue to be thrown about in order to facilitate ITV and the BBC’s sport coverage.
Mostly, this is the The UEFA European Football Championship 2024. That’s Euro 2024 to those of you (like us) that are less football savvy. If Weatherfield County qualify – and as long as cheating Tommy Orpington hasn’t signed for the team, consider us intrigued.
It’s something which divides the fandoms, often at war with each other as to who deserves the coveted place within the schedules.
The championship takes place every four years, though the last one was held in 2021 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The first game of the group stages kicked off on Friday, June 14th and disruption to our visits to soapland can be expected through to the final in Berlin on Sunday, July 14th.
As schedules are only published so far in advance, we only know what’s happening over the next week for now.
