BBC Two's topical panel game, hosted by Dara O'Briain, was pulled from the schedules due to extended Wimbledon tennis coverage.
Thursday evening's match between Rafael Nadal and Lukas Rosol, which saw a shock defeat for Spaniard Nadal, spilled over into Mock the Week's 10pm-10.30pm slot.
The episode features regulars Chris Addison, Andy Parsons and Hugh Dennis alongside guests Zoe Lyons, Marcus Brigstocke and Gary Delaney.
With weeknight bulletin Newsnight fixed in the 10.30pm slot, the BBC was unable to fit the show into its schedule for the evening.
Mock the Week's delayed instalment will be screened on BBC Two this Sunday at 10.10pm.
Despite losing high-profile panellists Russell Howard and Frankie Boyle, the satirical round-up remains a solid ratings hit.

In today's age of television, they should be able to work something out when these things happen. Last night's line up on BBC One was utterly buggered thanks to the tennis. I know everybody talks about a BBC Sport channel, then gets shot down because there's not enough content, but it seems like there's too much content at the moment that other shows people want to watch keep getting moved or shunned. I'm pretty sure a lot of people who don't see this article won't know MTW is being shown on Sunday, and I'm sure a lot of people assumed last night that Mrs Browns Boys and Live At The Apollo was scrapped too, which they weren't, so chances are they lost a lot of viewers - something no channel wants to happen.

Why do people feel they have a god given right to watch sports and bugger anyone else?
