Coronation Street and Emmerdale have been taken off air on ITV1 for two nights this week due to UEFA Nations League football, with both soaps returning to their usual slots on Monday, November 16.
The programmes, which normally air every weeknight between 8pm and 9pm, were removed from their time slots on Thursday, November 12, as ITV broadcast the England squad facing Croatia. That coverage began at 7pm ahead of a 7.45pm kick-off, live from Wembley Stadium.
Second Night of Disruption
Fans expecting the soaps to return on Friday, November 13, will be disappointed, as they have been taken off air for a second consecutive night. ITV is instead showing the match between France and South Africa from 7.15pm, ready for an 8.10pm kick-off.
This means Coronation Street and Emmerdale have been removed from the schedule once again. The soaps are set to return as normal on Monday, November 16.
What to Expect on Return
Emmerdale airs at 8pm, with the episode description reading: "Samson's legal situation worsens, while Graham keeps a watchful eye and a stolen moment between Caleb and Sadie leaves them terrified of discovery."
Coronation Street follows at 8.30pm. The teaser said: "Ryan objects to being drawn into Bethany's web of lies, Lisa delivers a worrying update on Jodie, Amy leaves Tracy in the lurch, and Bernie reaches a life-changing decision."
Both Coronation Street and Emmerdale return on Monday on ITV1 and ITVX.
