Why Is EastEnders Not On Iplayer Today?
Fans expecting their regular dose of EastEnders on BBC One or iPlayer today, July 23, 2025, may be disappointed to find the iconic London soap missing from the TV guide and digital platforms. But rest assured: this is not a technical glitch or a permanent removal.
Reason for the Absence
EastEnders is not available on BBC iPlayer or airing on BBC One today, July 23, 2025, due to a major BBC schedule change for live sports coverage. The show's regular Wednesday slot has been pre-empted so that the BBC can broadcast the second semi-final of the Women’s 2025 Euros, featuring Spain vs. Germany in Zurich. A special documentary, "True North: Row Hard or Row Home: Around Ireland in 32 Days," was scheduled before the football coverage, leaving no slot for EastEnders this evening.
When Is EastEnders Back on TV?
The break is only temporary. The next new episode of EastEnders is scheduled for Thursday, July 24, 2025, at 7:30 pm on BBC One. So fans don’t have to wait long to return to Walford’s dramatic streets. The episode will be available on BBC iPlayer after its broadcast as usual.
What to Expect in the Upcoming Episode
According to previews, the new episode features a fresh chapter in Walford, including the debut of a new Queen Vic owner, rising tensions at No.25, and Suki receiving some much-needed advice. Regular broadcasts are expected to resume after this one-off disruption.
