World Cup TV schedule changes: Football means disruption to Strictly, I'm A Celeb and The Chase

The Qatar World Cup 2022 is just around the corner, with the first match kicking off at 4pm on Sunday between the hosts and Ecuador. Many people will be ramping up their excitement in the lead up to kick off, but others might be forced to miss some of their favourite shows in the coming weeks, all due to the footie.

The matches will be split between ITV1 and BBC One once the competition gets underway, meaning sometimes shows will be cancelled or moved channel while the schedule remains unchanged on the other. So, while you might be able to catch The One Show on BBC One at 7pm, Coronation Street and Emmerdale won't always be available.

Some shows will be moved or pushed back to accommodate the World Cup matches, while others simply won't run if there is a match scheduled at the same time as the show. Shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and I'm A Celebrity... will still air, while quiz shows will not always.
