On Labor Day, network television soap operas frequently air repeat episodes or face preemptions because overall daytime viewership drops during the holiday. Soap Opera News has the complete schedule for Labor Day 2026—covering Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, Beyond the Gates, The Bold and the Beautiful, and The Young and the Restless.
