EastEnders fans will have noticed the BBC soap has been moved around in recent weeks thanks to the World Cup fixtures – and there is another change to the usual schedule tonight.

The soap normally airs from Monday to Thursday on BBC One at 7.30pm, with episodes also available to watch from 6am on BBC iPlayer on the same day. However, the Walford drama sometimes moves when live sporting events take priority.

So, when can viewers watch EastEnders this week, and is the latest episode available to stream yet?
