When to watch Emmerdale and Coronation Street this week

The FIFA World Cup has now progressed to the knockout stages and will disrupt soap schedules again this week, with Emmerdale and Coronation Street fans to see a few schedule changes on ITV1 due to football coverage.

The soaps regularly get moved around for football matches, and this week is no different.

Here’s what we know about the TV schedule shake-up and which episodes the changes affect.

TV schedule changes for Emmerdale and Coronation Street this week

Emmerdale and Coronation Street usually air 30-minute episodes on ITV1 at 8pm and 8.30pm respectively, Monday to Friday, in what is known as the “soaps power hour” (introduced in January 2026).

However, there will be some changes this week, according to Radio Times’ TV guide.

All timings are correct at the time of writing.

On Monday, July 13, Emmerdale and Corrie will be available to watch at the normal times – 8pm and 8.30pm respectively – for 30 minutes each.

There will be no new episode of either soap on Tuesday, July 14, as ITV will air the first quarter-final match.

On Wednesday, July 15, there will be further disruption as ITV broadcasts the second semi-final match, which will clash with the soaps’ usual slot and mean there are no new episodes.

The TV schedule will be back to normal on Thursday (July 16) as Emmerdale will have a new episode from 8pm until 8.30pm, when Coronation Street will air.

On Friday, July 17, fans can expect another night of soaps with new episodes of Emmerdale and Corrie airing at 8pm and 8.30pm respectively.

There will be no episode on Saturday, July 18 or Sunday, July 19, when ITV will air the World Cup final.

The disruption to the schedules means fans will not get their usual 2.5 hours of soaps this week – they will instead get to watch 1.5 hours of new episodes.
