Coronation Street will air at a different time tonight on ITV1 as the FIFA World Cup 2026 continues to disrupt the usual soap schedule. Fans of the Manchester-based drama must adjust their viewing habits after several schedule shake-ups over the past few weeks.
Tonight's Episodes
On Thursday, July 2, Emmerdale airs at 7:15pm followed by Coronation Street at 7:45pm on ITV1. The earlier time slots replace the usual 8pm and 8:30pm airings. After the soaps, Long Lost Family airs at 8:15pm.
Wednesday's episodes followed the same pattern: Emmerdale at 7:15pm and Coronation Street at 7:45pm. Both soaps were cancelled on Monday evening due to football coverage.
Friday and Sunday Schedules
