England will take on Latvia at Wembley Arena in London.
As a result schedule programming between 7pm to 10pm will be ditched.
It means Monday night’s Coronation Street and Emmerdale will not be broadcast.
Emmerdale will return as normal on Tuesday, though it’s not clear when Monday’s Corrie will air.
Meanwhile, ITV’s brand new drama Protection – which launches this Monday – has also been disrupted.
The thriller’s second episode starring Siobhan Finneran will air on Tuesday, March 25 as a result of the football.
