Match of the Day channel and time moved because of Eurovision Song Contest

Viewers tuning in to BBC One on Saturday night wishing to see the highlights of Premier League matches will be disappointed with the show moved due to the Eurovision Song Contest.

The yearly singing competition, also immensely popular but not involving Erling Haaland, Mikel Arteta or Joelinton, is taking place in Liverpool on Saturday, the first time it has been on UK shores since 1998. It has meant that Match of the Day has had to make way, being moved across to BBC Two, instead.

The goals, reaction and latest Premier League coverage will also start earlier, kicking off at 10pm instead of its slot around 10:30pm as is standard. Nevertheless, catching up on games including Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest, Manchester United vs Wolves and Aston Villa vs Tottenham will still be on air.
