Why isn’t Gladiators on TV tonight?

Unfortunately for fans who were expecting the second half of the semi-finals tonight, you’ll have to wait another week due to scheduling changes by the BBC.

In the usual Gladiators slot is BBC One’s coverage of The FA Cup match between Manchester City and Newcastle United.

Kick-off is at 5:30pm, with the coverage beginning at 5:10pm as Gary Lineker presents coverage of the quarter-final from Etihad Stadium.

The news of this was reported last week when the BBC confirmed its schedule, meaning the next half of the Gladiators semi-final will likely air on Saturday 23rd March.

Based on the schedule, Michael McIntyre's The Wheel will air after the football, followed by Pointless Celebrities and Casualty.

When is the next episode of Gladiators on TV?

So long as there are no further schedule changes, the second half of the semi-final of Gladiators will air on Saturday 23rd March in its usual slot.

This will mean viewers can expect the final of the epic competition series to air on Saturday 30th March.

Gladiators airs on BBC One on Saturdays. Looking for something else to watch? Check out our TV Guide or Streaming Guide, visit our Entertainment hub for the latest news.
