Football may possibly be coming home this weekend, but its pending arrival has caused some chaos amongst ITV 's programming schedule.
England's bid for footballing glory on Sunday will see Gareth Southgate's boys take on Italy in the European Championship final at the same time Love Island normally airs.
Kicking off at 7.00pm, ITV will be covering the history-making match at Wembley Stadium until at least 10.35pm as a nation tunes in to see if the England team can go all the way and bring football home.
To avoid any clashes, Sunday's episode of Love Island, and it's spin-off Aftersun, will be aired at a later time to allow fans to enjoy the match without missing out on any of the latest villa action.
The dating reality TV show normally starts at 9.00pm on ITV2 but for one night only, this weekend's episode will be pushed back until 10.00pm.
It's spin-off show, Aftersun, which is hosted weekly by presenter Laura Whitmore, has also been given a new time to accommodate the football, scheduled to begin at 12.05am rather than at it's usual 1.1.00pm slot.
The news is sure to please Love Island fans who are also caught up in football fever as England enjoys it's most successful ever run in a European Championship.
While it may be good news for viewers, producers and the big bosses at ITV may not be as happy with the schedule rejig.
As a nation rejoiced on Wednesday night, with England claiming victory in the semi-finals, there was some losers in the country that evening.
Love Island lost a whopping 1.2 million viewers over on ITV2, even with a scheduled time change, as the public opted to continue to watch Harry Kane convert a missed penalty in extra-time to lead the team to glory.
While the previous night's episode had attracted 2.2 million viewers, that figure dwindled to just 941,000 on Wednesday night as England's clash with Denmark at Wembley went into extra time.
The dating reality TV show had been pushed back to 10pm prior to the game but with the score all square after 90 minutes, the nation was left on tender hooks as football fans had to wait until 10.35pm for the extra time whistle to be blown and confirm England's place in the final.
The above figures do not include views on the ITV Hub.
