Strictly Come Dancing will face some scheduling changes in the coming weeks due to the World Cup in Qatar.

The scheduling change will affect both the quarter and semi-finals of the popular BBC show.

Due to Qatar's summer heat, the World Cup was delayed from its usual June/July slot to November/December, causing the clash with Strictly Come Dancing.

Will Strictly Come Dancing be on during the World Cup?

Strictly will still be on during the World Cup, with different dates scheduled for the quarter and semi-finals.

The quarter-finals will now take place on Friday, December 2, as opposed to its normal Saturday slot.

The semi-final will take place just over a week later, on Sunday, December 11.
