It is a bumper season for sport due to both the Wimbledon Tennis Championships and the Women's Euros.
Due to the extended coverage on BBC One and BBC Two, bosses at the publicly funded corporation have had to make several schedule changes.
Usually EastEnders would air every Monday through to Thursday at 7:30pm after The One Show.
However, for those wanting to know the latest goings on in Walford, this week's episodes will air at a different time.
The first episodes of the week to air on TV will be shown on BBC One at 8pm on Wednesday 9th July.
This will be closely followed by another edition of the soap straight after at 8:30pm.
The follow-up instalment will air the next day on Thursday 10th July at an earlier time of 7pm.
Fans will also be able to watch EastEnders on a Friday night again with the last episode of the week on the 11th July - again at 7pm.
This is a drastic change from its usual midweek release schedule of Monday to Thursday.
Despite the shakeup on linear television, it's still business as usual for the soap on streaming.

Episodes will still land as normal at the same time for viewers on BBC iPlayer.
This means that all the episodes will be available to view on iPlayer far before they are aired on the small screen.
The show's official social media accounts posted the full schedule of episodes.
On X - formerly known as Twitter - it posted: "Here is our schedule for this week's #EastEnders.
"See you on Wednesday for double trouble!"
The account added: "Psst…. if you can't wait that long, remember that EastEnders also drops on @iPlayer at 6am, Monday to Thursday."

Gregg Wallace 'breaks his silence' after being sacked by BBC
This follows a nine-month investigation into claims of misconduct against the presenter. The Masterchef star was exonerated of accusations such as groping. Wallace put out a statement on Instagram today after being informed of the decision by production company Banijay. He wrote: "I have taken the decision to speak out ahead of the publication of the Silkins report - a decision I do not take lightly. A post shared by Gregg Wallace MBE (@greggawallace) "But after 21 years of loyal service to the BBC, I cannot sit in silence while my reputation is further damaged to protect others. "I have now been cleared by the Silkins report of the most serious and sensational accusations made against me. "The most damaging claims (including allegations from public figures which have not been upheld) were found to be baseless after a full and forensic six-month investigation." The report is officially due out on Thursday, but his legal team have been given an early steer, according to insiders. A source told the Sun: "Gregg is both furious and devastated about how things have played out. "His team have seen the report and believe he is cleared of the most serious wrongdoing allegations, so he has taken great consolation from that.

"He has also been cleared of some of the higher profile allegations, including those brought on by Penny Lancaster and Kirsty Wark, but the BBC has made it clear there is no way back for him. He is devastated. "There have been so many people involved in all of this and obviously everyone, bar Gregg who now has nothing to lose, has a vested interest in protecting the money-spinning Masterchef brand."

BBC newsreader does bizarre peacock impression live on air – two years after finger gaffe
Watch as a BBC newsreader does a bizarre impression of a peacock live on air on Monday (7 July). Maryam Moshiri was presenting a segment on a loose peacock terrorising a small town in Wiltshire when she shocked viewers by imitating the sounds of the colourful bird. 'I've been told by my producer not to do an impression of a peacock so I'm going to do it anyway,' she said. Ms Moshiri went viral two years ago when she accidentally displayed her middle finger at the camera during a news bulletin in 2023, later apologising for the incident by saying she was 'joking around with the team in the gallery'.
