When is EastEnders on this week? Get up-to-date schedules and changes here

Wimbledon's playing havoc with the schedules
Joel Harley

Between major sporting events, constantly shifting world news, and unexpected last-minute changes, the soaps don’t always stick to their usual schedules on a weekly basis – but when exactly is EastEnders on this week?

EastEnders usually airs from Monday to Thursday on BBC One at 7.30pm, with each episode dropping that day at 6am. However, this isn’t always the case, and the soap sometimes has to move as other events take priority.

This is one of those weeks – and with Wimbledon affecting the BBC One schedule, the soap won’t be airing in its usual time or place. Here’s when it’s on this week instead.

When is EastEnders on this week?

With Wimbledon playing on BBC One at 7pm on Monday and Tuesday, this means that the soap won’t be broadcast in its usual slot on those days. Instead, Monday’s episode will air at 8pm on Wednesday (June 9), directly followed by another episode at 8.30pm.

It will then return on Thursday at 7pm, before playing on Friday evening at the same time. If that’s too much to keep up with, then worry not – each episode will drop at 6am on BBC iPlayer between Monday and Thursday this week.

But what’s happening on EastEnders this week?

Harry and Kojo caught up in Ravi’s dangerous plan

This week’s episodes see Harry and Kojo stumble across a volatile situation when Ravi attempts to make up for the shortfall caused by Bernie’s theft of the Panesars’ cash. Growing spooked after the police almost catch him with one of his dealers, he stashes his car at the Arches.

As they inspect the car, Harry and Kojo are shocked to find a small pile of drugs in the boot. The situation soon takes an even more terrible turn when the drugs disappear. But who’s taken them?

Elsewhere, a jealous Peter lashes out at Zack after Cindy suggests that there’s something going on with Lauren and Zack. And, as Elaine recovers from her heart attack, Linda worries that her mum’s doing too much too soon.
