Why CBS Won’t Air Young & Restless & Other Soaps on February 6

The Young and the Restless fans tuning in on February 6 might notice something unexpected. The show, along with other daytime favorites, won’t be airing on CBS as usual, leaving viewers wondering what’s behind the sudden schedule change.

If you’re curious to find out the reason behind the sudden change and what it means for your daily routine, here’s all you need to know.

CBS New York won’t air The Young and Restless and others for this reason

CBS New York won’t air The Young and the Restless and other soaps on Friday, February 6, 2026, because the network is broadcasting live coverage of the Installation of the Archbishop of New York instead (via soaps.sheknows.com).

As confusing as it might seem to some regular viewers of the daytime soap opera, it’s crucial to note that on Friday, February 6, 2026, the latest episodes will not be broadcast during their usual daytime slots on CBS.

Instead, the beloved and prominent soap operas such as The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, and Beyond the Gates will be shown on WLNY-TV (New York 55) from 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

CBS is temporarily replacing these three soaps to provide live coverage of the Installation of the Archbishop of New York on CBS New York. Such kinds of preemption usally happens when the network prioritizes other programming blocks or events, such as special shows, news, sports, or holiday-related content.

Nevertheless, viewers located in the New York area can access the WLNY-TV cable channel and continue to enjoy the complete episodes there. For those who do not have access or are international viewers, they can still catch up on the shows through Paramount+ or check out various recap options available online.

Until then, fans can watch all their beloved daytime TV shows, like The Young and the Restless, Seasons 1–53, The Bold and the Beautiful Seasons 1–39, and Beyond the Gates Seasons 1–2, on Paramount+.
