Telecinco postpones 'De viernes' to avoid clashing with Spain's World Cup match

Telecinco will replace its regular Friday edition of the social‑chronicle programme 'De viernes' with a special compilation titled 'De viernes: Lo mejor'. The change is timed for the night of Spain's quarter‑final World Cup match against Belgium, which will be broadcast on La 1 and could dominate viewership, especially if it extends into extra time or penalties. The move aims to protect the channel's prime‑time ratings.

While Telecinco pulls the regular show, it will still air the semifinal of 'Tu cara me suena' live, despite the overlap with the football match. Competing broadcaster Antena 3 plans to keep its scheduled programming unchanged.
