This week, Emmerdale and Coronation Street fans will see a TV schedule change due to ITV1 showing a football match.<\/p>\n
The soaps regularly get moved about for football matches, and this week is no different.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what we know about the changes and which episodes the TV schedule shakeup affects.<\/p>\n
Emmerdale and Coronation Street to see schedule changes this week<\/p>\n
The Women\u2019s European Qualifier is being shown on ITV1 this week.<\/p>\n
England will take on Spain with coverage airing from 6.30pm on ITV1 on Tuesday, April 14, with kick-off at 7pm.<\/p>\n
Since it crosses over into the soap slots, Emmerdale and Corrie have both changed their usual schedules.<\/p>\n
Emmerdale fans tune into the soap from 8pm on ITV1 on Monday through to Friday, but this week, the Tuesday episode on April 14 will not air.<\/p>\n
Instead, fans can look forward to an episode at 7pm on Sunday, April 19.<\/p>\n
Emmerdale’s most shocking deaths<\/p>\n
Coronation Street usually airs from 8.30pm on the same channel on Monday through to Friday, but there will be no Tuesday episode.<\/p>\n
The soap will, however, air on Sunday too with an episode starting after Emmerdale, at 7.30pm on ITV1.<\/p>\n
Apart from these changes for the England match, the soaps will run as normal this week.<\/p>\n
In 2025, ITV announced changes to its soap schedule, including Coronation Street and Emmerdale.<\/p>\n
From January 2026, the broadcaster introduced a \u201csoaps power hour\u201d on weekdays with 30-minute Emmerdale episodes at 8pm and 30-minute Coronation Street episodes at 8.30pm.<\/p>\n
Coronation Street previously aired for three hour-long episodes a week, while Emmerdale aired four 30-minute episodes and one hour-long instalment.<\/p>\n
In May 2025, ITV chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall said the company was making “good progress” on a cost-cutting drive, and that she expected to make \u00a330 million of non-content savings during 2025.<\/p>\n
