According to the Daily Star, the BBC is only offering audience tickets to their live shows until Saturday, November 26.
The publication claims the “headache” will come in December as Strictly launches into its quarter and semi finals.
There are reportedly World Cup knock out games scheduled for Saturday December 3 at 7pm and Saturday December 10 at 7pm.
Strictly final shows to move?
However, according to the Daily Star, ITV and the BBC haven’t yet decided what matches they will air.
If the BBC decides to air one or both, it means Strictly’s final shows may move.
A source reportedly told the publication: “It is a major headache and die hard fans will be fuming if Strictly gets taken off air because of football.
“Viewers have already had a summer of sport messing around with their favourite TV shows.”
ED! has contacted reps for Strictly for comment.
