A year later than planned, Euro 2020 is here - and that spells chaos for the scheduling of the most popular soaps.
BBC and ITV share the broadcast rights to the tournament, and as a result, episodes of Coronation Street, EastEnders and Emmerdale will be shunted around the schedules over the coming weeks.
Both broadcasters have announced that all episodes of each of the soaps will be made available on iPlayer and the ITV Hub every Monday morning during Euro 2020, giving viewers the ultimate flexibility over when to watch.
The soaps will still get a traditional airing on BBC One and ITV, however - and here, Media Mole details the latest scheduling information.
