For the fourth year in a row, CBS will preempt the bulk of its daytime lineup all or in part on Tuesday, April 29; Wednesday, April 30; Tuesday, May 6 and Wednesday, May 7 with the network once again set to broadcast UEFA Champions League Soccer games, which will also be carried live on Paramount+.
The only show on the network that will air without interruption coast to coast will be “The Price is Right,” which airs at 11:00 a.m. ET/10:00 a.m. PT. Meanwhile, soap operas “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful” will air uninterrupted on the East Coast but will be preempted on the West Coast (Mountain and Pacific Time Zones).
Like “The Talk” before it, “Beyond the Gates” is the only CBS show that will be fully preempted on all four days. In its place, the network will air “UEFA Champions League Today,” a pre-game show providing news and highlights about the UEFA Champions League.
“Beyond the Gates” will air original episodes on Monday, April 28; Thursday, May 1; Friday, May 2; Monday, May 5; Thursday, May 8 and Friday, May 9.
As a result of the preemptions, “Beyond the Gates” will air just six episodes between Monday, April 28 and Friday, May 9, bringing the show’s total episode count by that point to 49.
Except in markets where “Let’s Make a Deal” airs after “Beyond the Gates,” the game show will air without interruption in markets where it airs preceding “The Price is Right,” although select CBS stations can opt to air the program in a later time slot, including overnight or on sister stations. The same option is available for both “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful.”
UEFA Champions League
An annual competition organized by the Union of European Football Associations, UEFA Champions League Soccer sees the top 16 clubs in the European tournament vying for the Coupe des Clubs Champions Européens (aka European Cup) trophy.

On Tuesday, April 29, the teams playing from the Emirates Stadium in London, England, will be Arsenal vs. Paris Saint-Germain, with Barcelona vs. Internazionale playing from Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in Barcelona, Spain on Wednesday, April 30. The following week, Internazionale will again face off against Barcelona on Tuesday, May 6, from Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milano, Italy. The rematch between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal will take place on Wednesday, May 7 at Parc des Princes in Paris, France.
