They will continue to air on the telly too. But with schedules all over the place fans can catch up any time.
EastEnders producer Jon Sen said: “Giving EastEnders viewers the ability to decide when they drop in on all things Albert Square is something we’re excited about.
“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 keep viewers content over the next few weeks.”

“Given how exciting the stories are, it’s great that fans will have the chance to binge watch all the episodes on ITV Hub at the start of each week.
“As with football, sometimes when it’s an exciting face-off, you really want extra time.”
