TV Guide UK Tonight: Tue 7 Jul 2026 – Bake Off: The Professionals, Grand Designs & EastEnders

freeview tv guide today, Tuesday 7 July 2026 — the full freeview channel guide across all seven main channels in one place. Short version: BBC One owns the football, Channel 4 owns everything else, and the soaps have taken the night off. Here's what's actually worth your evening. ⚽ BBC ONE — the football night 5pm and 9pm, two FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 ties, both on the one channel. Wimbledon fills the afternoon from 2pm, Celebrity Escape to the Country slots in at 7:30pm between the matches, and Maggie Smith closes it out in The Lady in the Van at midnight. Clear the schedule. 👉 https://tvradar.uk/bbc-one-tv-guide 🎾 BBC TWO — tennis by day, Walford by night Wimbledon quarter-finals from 11am. Then the big one for soap fans: EASTENDERS IS ON BBC TWO at 7:30pm tonight only (also on BBC Three), bumped across because Wimbledon has BBC One. It's on. Just not where you expect it. 👉 https://tvradar.uk/bbc-two-tv-guide 🚫 ITV1 — no soaps tonight Heads up: NO Emmerdale and NO Coronation Street tonight, casualties of the World Cup reshuffle. They're back Wednesday. The pick here is The Assembly at 11:35pm, Stephen Fry fielding questions from an autistic and learning-disabled panel, and it's a proper watch. 👉 https://tvradar.uk/itv1-tv-guide ⭐ CHANNEL 4 — the best non-sport night going Bake Off: The Professionals at 8pm (apple desserts, then a Willy Wonka sugar showpiece), then the night's top pick: Grand Designs at 9pm, a 25th-anniversary return to the very first clifftop build from 1999. If you're skipping the football, start here. 👉 https://tvradar.uk/channel-4-tv-guide 🔎 CHANNEL 5 — true crime after dark Britain's Most Dangerous Prisoners at 11:35pm digs into the Joanna Dennehy case. Measured, grim, exactly what Five's late slot does well. 👉 https://tvradar.uk/channel-5-tv-guide 🎬 FILM4 — movies while everyone watches sport The day climbs toward the 9pm premiere, the slot where Film4 earns its loyalty. And don't forget Film4 +1 (Freeview 47) runs an hour behind if you miss the start. 👉 https://tvradar.uk/film4-tv-guide 🛋️ E4 — the football-free comfort zone Hollyoaks first-look at 7pm, a day ahead of Channel 4, then easy US comedy and reality all evening. No offside calls, no tie-breaks. 👉 https://tvradar.uk/e4-tv-guide 📌 THE ONE-LINE VERDICT Football on BBC One, Grand Designs on Channel 4, EastEnders hiding on BBC Two, and no soaps on ITV1. Plan accordingly. So where are you spending tonight: the knockout football, the cliff-top house, or a first-look trip to Hollyoaks? 👇 #FreeviewTVGuide #FreeviewChannelGuide #WhatsOnTonight #TVGuideUK #WorldCup2026 #Wimbledon #GrandDesigns #EastEnders #bbc1schedule #itvtvguide Everything on tonight, all channels, one page: https://tvradar.uk
