CBS’s fifth annual broadcast of UEFA Champions League Soccer games will once again impact the network’s daytime lineup, with games scheduled for Tuesday, April 28 and Wednesday, April 29; Tuesday, May 5 and Wednesday, May 6.
“Beyond the Gates” and “Let’s Make a Deal” will be fully preempted all four days. Meanwhile, “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful” air uninterrupted on the East Coast but are being preempted on the West Coast (Mountain and Pacific Time Zones).
The only show on the network that will air coast-to-coast without interruption is “The Price is Right,” which airs at 11:00 a.m. ET/10:00 a.m. PT.
Although the games are set to kick off at 3:00 p.m. ET/12:00 p.m. PT, CBS will air “UEFA Champions League Today,” a pregame show featuring news and highlights from the UEFA Champions League, at 2:00 p.m. ET/11:00 a.m. PT, taking the time slot usually set for original episodes of “Beyond the Gates.”
