Coronation Street and Emmerdale have been pulled from ITV\u2019s regular schedule tonight (Tuesday 7 July), while EastEnders viewers will also have to adapt to a change.<\/p>\n

Both shows usually air 30-minute instalments on weeknights, with Emmerdale<\/a> airing at 8pm and Corrie<\/a> following at 8:30pm.<\/p>\n

But neither soap will be airing in its usual slot tonight, with ITV1 showing coverage of the Switzerland v Colombia FIFA World Cup 2026<\/a> game instead. Coverage of the eighth round-of-16 match, which takes place at BC Place Vancouver in Canada, will begin at 8:15pm, with kick-off 45 minutes later.<\/p>\n

However, fans looking for their soap fix needn\u2019t worry, as Emmerdale will return on Wednesday at 8pm for a 30-minute episode. There will also be a 30-minute episode of Corrie following at 8:30pm.<\/p>\n

Over in Emmerdale, Kev Townsend (Chris Coghill) makes a big gesture<\/a> to secure a relationship with son Lewis Barton (Bradley Riches), though Ross Barton (Michael Parr) reckons he isn’t to be trusted.<\/p>\n

Emmerdale and Corrie are off air tonight.\u00a0ITV<\/p>\n

That night, someone breaks into the caff and steals the cash box! But is it Kev?<\/p>\n

Corrie viewers will see Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) bemoan partner Steve McDonald’s (Simon Gregson) help at the florist’s, growing uneasy at the fact he’s spending more time with ex-wife Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford).<\/p>\n

Heading to the Chariot Square to drown her sorrows, she bumps into a fella at the bar and begins to flirt.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Abi Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine) announces that she’s taking landlord Idris Nazir (Junade Khan) to court.<\/p>\n

There’s a big change for EastEnders<\/a> fans too \u2013 as it won’t be broadcast on BBC One this evening.<\/p>\n

\"Bea<\/p>\n

EastEnders has been moved to BBC Two.\u00a0BBC\/Jack Barnes\/Kieron McCarron<\/p>\n

It’s not football kicking the soap off its usual pitch, but rather further coverage of Wimbledon<\/a>. It’s day nine of the Grand Slam tournament from the All England Club, where the singles quarter-finals are scheduled to begin.<\/p>\n

If you’ve not already watched on BBC iPlayer, you can catch it at 7:30pm on BBC Two instead.<\/p>\n

It’s a huge episode for Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) as she faces off with Bea Pollard (Ronni Ancona) amid her kidnap ordeal<\/a>.<\/p>\n
