Emmerdale and Coronation Street schedule changes next week

The beloved ITV soaps will shift from their usual broadcast times due to the upcoming Women’s European Qualifiers and the Men’s World Cup.

Viewers can expect a disrupted viewing pattern throughout next week as football matches take precedence over normal broadcasts.

All the Emmerdale and Coronation Street schedule changes next week

On Tuesday, June 9, neither show will air because of England’s Women’s World Cup Qualifier against Ukraine.

The schedule will resume on Wednesday, June 10, but with an earlier timeslot.

Emmerdale will be shown at 7pm, followed by Coronation Street at 7.30pm.

This change is to accommodate England’s final warmup game against Costa Rica at the Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida.

The disruptions continue into the latter part of the week.

On Thursday, June 11, with the commencement of the Men’s World Cup, which includes the opening ceremony, ITV will not broadcast either Emmerdale or Coronation Street.

Friday, June 12, brings the most significant change, with both having longer runtimes.

Emmerdale will air for an hour from 8pm to 9pm, with Coronation Street following from 9pm to 10pm.

Normally, the two soaps air back-to-back each weeknight, with Emmerdale from 8pm to 8.30pm and Coronation Street from 8.30pm to 9pm.

This football-induced disruption is not a first for the soaps.

Both Emmerdale and Coronation Street have had to adjust their schedules several times this year already due to sporting events.

In March, an England v Uruguay match saw the soaps moved to a weekend.

More recently, they were taken off the air for women’s football between England and Spain.
