A number of BBC shows have been affected by a change to TV schedules this month. The broadcaster is once again providing viewers with coverage of Wimbledon, alongside airing several of this year’s Women’s Euro football matches, too.
The tennis tournament started on Monday and is set to conclude next Sunday (July 13), with it continuing to affect the schedule until then. Meanwhile, the football championship instead kicked off yesterday and that will continue until July 27.
Wimbledon coverage is alternating between BBC One and BBC Two this year. The Women’s Euro is instead being split between the BBC and ITV, though the final later this month will be available to fans through both broadcasters.
Last week it was announced that the One Show, which airs at 7pm on weeknights, has been dropped from the BBC’s schedule for four weeks amid coverage of the two sporting championships. The show is set to return from July 28.

It isn’t the only show affected though. EastEnders episodes aired as double-bills on BBC Two on Monday and Tuesday this week amid Wimbledon’s return. There now won’t be any new episodes of the soap until next Wednesday (July 9).
There is set to be further changes to EastEnders’ schedule later in the month though as a result of the Women’s Euros. Two episodes will air on July 15 ahead of its slot the following evening being taken up by a match. There will be no episode on July 17 either, though one will air on July 18 instead.

Wimbledon has also taken over BBC One’s afternoon slots. It means that Escape to the Country, Pointless, Bridge Of Lies and Garden Rescue aren’t airing at the moment, with all four shows set to return to the channel on July 14.
BBC Two’s the Edge, Unbeatable, Richard Osman’s House Of Games and Robson Green’s Weekend Escapes are also missing from the schedule until that date. Similarly, Flog It won’t air on the channel on a weekday until July 14 either.
Several other shows are also missing from the schedule. Absences at the moment include Lightning, M::rder, Mystery and My Family, Weatherman Walking and Hidden Treasures of the National Trust, which typically have afternoon slots.

The One Show is understood to be the most affected by the schedule changes. Host Alex Jones announced that the show would be taking a month-long break at the end of the last episode, which was broadcast on Friday.
She told viewers: “We are taking a bit of a break for the next four weeks and we’ll be back on Monday the 28th of July. But there’s plenty to enjoy like Wimbledon and the Euros.” A message in the credits reminded of its return date.
Wimbledon is airing today on BBC One from 2pm to 7pm. It will then continue after BBC News from 8pm until 10pm tonight. Whilst the Women’s Euro match between Belgium and Italy will air on BBC Two from 4.30pm, with some occasional Wimbledon coverage on that channel today too.
