When is Bake Off on this week? Channel 4's schedule shake-up, explained
On Tuesday night, October 17th, Channel 4's schedule will alter as the Great British Bake Off is displaced from its regular Tuesday night time slot to make way for a football match.
The well-known program, led by presenters Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond (the dynamic duo we never knew we wanted), has been postponed and will be shown later this week.
Those who enjoy watching Bake Off are likely curious about the timing for tuning in to see if the baker they support in 2023 will impress and advance to the next round as judged by Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.
This is the perfect time to free up your calendar, boil some water for tea, and enjoy a slice of cake (or am I the only one who is tempted by it?)...
What Time Is Bake Off On This Week?
The delightful baking program won't be airing on its usual time slot this Tuesday evening at 8pm. Rather, the England versus Italy football match will be broadcasted at that time on Channel 4. The game is scheduled to commence at 7.45pm.
The upcoming football match for men on an international level will have the team of Gareth Southgate's England playing on the grounds of Wembley Stadium. This particular game is a part of the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying matches. The match will be shown on Channel 4, and viewers can expect to see analysis and commentary from Jill Scott, Joe Cole, and Gianfranco Zola, who are all experts in the field.
However, the crucial question remains – what's going to happen with Bake Off? Due to the game's schedule, the current season of the show that takes place inside the tent will now be broadcasted on Wednesday, October 18, at its regular slot of 8pm.
What's The Bake Off Theme This Week?
Chocolate Week is currently underway, and it is a celebration that is not to be missed. Although we may have to be patient and wait an additional day, the outcome will undoubtedly be highly satisfying.
Bake Off gave a preview of the upcoming episode, stating that it is time to elevate the standard. The teaser demonstrated the remaining participants experiencing difficulty in cooling and refining their chocolate. It seems that certain aspects remain constant.

We also caught a glimpse of the chocolate box masterpiece, which looks equally mouth-watering.
This follows the events of last week's bread week where Abbi, a forager, bid farewell to the tent after her "Flat Janice" didn't impress Paul, who is an expert when it comes to dough. Just a heads up: this contains spoilers!
Abbi expressed in a note, which was posted by the Bake Off account, that she had an exceedingly enjoyable experience and encountered some remarkable and skilled individuals.
I feel very happy about all the things I accomplished while I was in the tent, and I appreciate all the knowledge that has come my way.
Who will succumb to the pressure of Bake Off's upcoming Chocolate Week and be the next to bid a tearful goodbye to the 2023 season?
We need to watch out on Wednesday to discover what will happen!
