The channel will be broadcasting live coverage of the Women's Rugby World Cup.
BBC One will be airing the sporting coverage between 6pm and 10pm.
It will be followed by the BBC News At Ten before live coverage of Chappell Roan's headline set at Reading Festival.
It means three major shows that usually air across these timeslots on BBC One will all be axed.

MARK OF RESPECT BBC breaks silence and confirms why channel axed Ozzy Osbourne doc
The One Show, MasterChef and controversial comedy Mrs. Brown's Boys will all be scrubbed from the air.
Whilst The One Show and Mrs. Brown's Boys will be ditched altogether, the BBC have chosen to quietly move MasterChef to an unassuming timeslot on Saturday evening.
Amid the furore surrounding Gregg Wallace and the ratings decline, MasterChef will be screened at 7:55pm on BBC One on Saturday evening.
It will be sandwiched in between Michael McIntyre's Big Show and Casualty.
Elsewhere, the schedule chaos does not stop there.
On Saturday afternoon, Final Score will be moved to BBC Two owing to even more Rugby World Cup coverage on the main BBC channel.
Masterchef in another bizarre editing blunder as BBC uses same 'nightmarish' shot of Gregg Wallace three times
It is the second time that MasterChef has faced a schedule overhaul since kicking off its latest series - which will be the last to feature hosts Gregg and John Torode after they were both axed from the programme.
Meanwhile, fans of Mrs. Brown's Boys will be left on tenterhooks for a while longer after fearing that Agnes would die at the end of the current series.
In the latest episode, viewers watched on as Agnes fell into a coma and was taken to hospital.
The ending featured her doctors revealing they'll have to turn off the life support machines.
Writing online, fans have been left certain of Agnes' demise - albeit very divided in their reactions.
One said on X: "Is she dead? Is this the last ever series?? Fingers crossed!!!"
Another penned: "RIP Mrs Brown - thanks for the laughs."
A third added: "What a strange ending! Has she passed away?"
While a fourth remarked: "She's DEAD. Finally we're free from the curse of the worst show on tv."

Fury as ‘childish' BBC axe HALF of shamed Gregg Wallace's recipes from web in ‘stupid cancellation' after MasterChef axe
HALF of Gregg Wallace's recipes have vanished from the BBC Food website — leaving many of its users steaming. Six of the fallen grocer's 11 dish ideas have been axed since he was sacked from MasterChef last month. 3 Half of Gregg Wallace's recipes have vanished from the BBC Food website including his raspberry pavlova Credit: Getty 3 Gregg's pork and apple burger recipe is one of the dishes that remains on the BBC site His 'comforting' special sausage and lentil soup, 'delightfully simple' mince pie ice-cream and a raspberry pavlova are gone. A raspberry marinated rack of lamb and a leek and potato soup are also missing since a damning report into the 60-year-old's behaviour. One site user railed at 'another stupid cancellation by the BBC'. They added: 'Whatever you think of the guy, it was hardly his recipes that were the problem.' Another, Claire, added: 'Seems childish. I'm never going to stop listening to Michael Jackson.' Ed Campbell added online: 'Can't we separate the art from the artist?' All the dishes had featured on shows Wallace fronted, as did some still on the website such as his pork and apple burger. Nearly 50 women made complaints about Wallace but the worst allegations, including groping and flashing, were not upheld. Last month, he told The Sun: 'I'm not a groper, a sex pest or a flasher. 'So much has been perceived incorrectly.' The BBC said it was standard practice to update BBC Food website recipes and those from a range of chefs had been taken down recently. 3 Wallace was sacked from MasterChef last month Credit: PA
