    However, fans will have to wait another week for a new episode of Press Your Luck .

    On Thursday at 8 p.m. ET – the typical time for the show – ABC aired the pre-season NFL football game between the Houston Texans and the Chicago Bears .

    On Press Your Luck’s Facebook page, they wrote , “The stage is set and the Whammies are waiting!

    “Press Your Luck is all-new next Thursday on ABC.”

    ‘REALLY?’

    However, fans weren’t thrilled about the schedule change especially since the new season is just two episodes in.

    “Dang. Wish there was one tonight,” one wrote in the comments section.

    Another exclaimed, “7 more days…really?????”

    “Seriously? Because of a preseason football game?” someone else questioned.

    “WTF?” a fifth person said.

    Meanwhile, others were excited for the upcoming episode.

    “Can’t wait!” someone else said.

    A second fan commented, “[I] will be tuning in!”

    WHAT IS PRESS YOUR LUCK?

    Press Your Luck premiered in 1984 but ended in 1986 after three seasons.

    In 2019, the show was revived with Elizabeth as the host.

    Seriously? Because of a preseason football game?

    During the game, three contestants compete by answering general knowledge questions to win cash and other prizes.

    The first person to buzz in and get the correct answer gets three spins on the Big Board.

    The question then goes into multiple-choice for the other players, and a correct answer at that point gets one spin on the Big Board.

    After four questions, the set does a 180-degree turn and goes to the Big Board.

    The winner with the most money at the end goes to the bonus round.

    The Big Board has many different rewards on them, including electronics and vacations.

    However, each contestant must avoid getting a dreaded Whammy as that causes them to lose everything.

    New episodes of Press Your Luck are back next Thursday, August 8 at 8 p.m. ET and every Thursday after that this summer .
