of the UEFA Women's Nations League, Spain v England.

Coverage of the match, live from Barcelona's RCDE Stadium, starts at 5.30pm on ITV1 for a 6pm kick-off and will be broadcast until 8.20pm. Therefore, The Chase's usual time slot has been

disrupted and no episode will air on Tuesday June 3.

‌ The ITV quiz show features a team of some of the UK's best quizzers including Shaun Wallace (The Dark Destroyer), Jenny Ryan (The Vixen), Darragh Ennis (The Menace), Mark Labbett (The

Beast), Anne Hegerty (The Governess), and Paul Sinha (The Sinnerman).

‌ It first appeared on our screens in 2009 and soon became a hit with fans. It sees regular contestants battle it out and test their general knowledge skills with the chance of taking home a

whopping cash prize.

But The Chase is not the only show to experience disruption tonight as Emmerdale has also been taken off air. Instead, viewers can enjoy an hour-long episode of the soap on Wednesday (June

4), from 7pm until 8pm, in addition to its usual hour-long Thursday slot.
