Why is The One Show not on BBC One this week?

The One Show has been a British TV staple for almost 20 years, airing over 4,000 episodes since its launch in 2006.

However, this week, long-time viewers will have to miss out on their 7pm fix.

Hosted the likes of Alex Jones, Roman Kemp, and Clara Amfo, the BBC magazine show will be off screens for a summer break.

And it’s not the only show to have fallen victim to a schedule shake-up.

But fear not! We have all the info you need about when The One Show will return and what you can watch in its place.

When does The One Show return?

It will be a while until The One Show is back in its usual Monday-Friday slot.

While Wimbledon is underway for another year, the programme – which features reports on an array of topics and interviews with celebrity guests – will be on a brief hiatus.

Making the announcement last week, presenter Alex, 48, shared: ‘We are taking a bit of a break for the next four weeks, and we’ll be back on Monday, 28th July, but there’s plenty to enjoy, like Wimbledon and the Euros.’

Indeed, Wimbledon coverage will air on the main BBC channels beginning on Monday, June 30, and ending on Sunday, July 13.

Matches from the annual tennis championships will be shown on BBC One and BBC Two over the next two weeks.

Evening coverage will air at 7pm on BBC One each weeknight, which is when The One Show is usually on.

As for the Euros, the women’s Euro 2025 tournament kicks off on July 2 in Switzerland.

Footie fans can catch all the action from home when games air across the BBC and ITV. The final will be streamed by both channels.

In total, there will be live coverage of 16 matches on BBC One, BBC Two, and BBC iPlayer, with Gabby Logan, Jeanette Kwakye, and One Show legend Alex fronting it.

There will also be 25 live match commentaries available on various BBC Radio stations.

Additionally, at one point, there will be a Euros and Wimbledon clash. As a result, on Wednesday, July 2, evening Wimbledon coverage will move to BBC Two while BBC One fronts Match of the Day for the Group A Switzerland vs Norway game.

What else is affected by the BBC schedule shake-up?

As the BBC TV schedule undergoes some changes this summer, your other favourite programmes could be impacted.

On June 30 and July 1, EastEnders will be shown on BBC Two instead of BBC One. There will be back-to-back episodes at 7pm and 7:30pm.

Furthermore, the daytime schedule has also been hit due to tennis coverage.

Escape To The Country will no longer air in its typical 3pm weekday slot on BBC One.

Catch up with The One Show on BBC iPlayer. It returns to BBC One live at 7pm on July 28.
