Running from November 20 to December 8, the tournament will air on both ITV and the BBC - with the game shows' schedules in chaos because of it.

However tonight neither gameshow will air on ITV.
Instead the channel will broadcast the Senegal vs Netherlands game from 3pm.
That means on Tuesday there will be an hour-long Tipping from 4pm to 5pm to catch-up on the missed episode.
Wednesday will see another shake-up as neither of the quiz shows will air on ITV again due to the broadcast of Spain vs Costa Rica game from 3:10pm to 6:15pm.
