Those used to tuning into the likes of Lorraine, This Morning, and Loose Women by be at a bit of a loss this week as all three have been cancelled for a number of days. The ITV daytime favourites have been ditched from their usual slots in favour of coverage of the World Cup.
The 2022 tournament is being aired across ITV and BBC with schedules being changed to accommodate the coverage. The first round of games kicked off on Sunday (November 20) with England playing their first game on Monday (November 21) which saw them storm to the top of the group with a 6-2 win over Iran.
Meanwhile, Wales also played their first game on Monday against the USA securing a draw in their first World Cup for 64 years. And as well as the unfamiliarity of the tournament being played in the winter, Qatar is three hours ahead of the UK meaning matches are set to kick off at 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm UK time during the group stage and 3pm and 7pm later in the knockout stage.
