EastEnders tonight in schedule change – here’s why

Don't miss it!

EastEnders will air at a slightly later time tonight as a schedule change causes disruption to normal BBC viewing.

The soap usually airs at 7.30pm for half an hour on a Monday night but this evening will be different.

Tonight (Monday, January 27th), the soap will air at 8pm for half an hour instead – and for a good reason.

Here’s why EastEnders will air at 8pm tonight

EastEnders is on half an hour later than usual this evening as a temporary schedule change occurs.

Tonight, a special documentary for Holocaust Memorial Day 2025 will air on the BBC’s main channel.

This one-off programme will air for an hour, from 7pm-8pm. This means that EastEnders is slightly moved to the 8pm slot.

For fans who don’t wish to wait that extra half an hour though, today’s episode is already available on BBC iPlayer ready for viewing at a time that suits them.

The soap will revert back to its usual scheduling tomorrow (Tuesday, January 28th) where it’s on at 7.30pm-8.00pm.
