Why is Coronation Street not on TV tonight?

Coronation Street will not be in its usual 8pm timeslot as ITV will instead be airing coverage of the Women’s Nations League match between England and Belgium. The coverage starts at 7.30pm right after Emmerdale’s half-hour episode.

The match kicks off at 8pm. The football coverage is scheduled to end at around 10.20pm this evening.

When will Coronation Street return?

As a result of the schedule change, the new episode has not been added to ITVX in the normal early release slot.

Coronation Street will return to its normal airing time at 8pm on Monday, April 7. The episode will be added to ITVX and STV Player that morning as part of the early release.

Corrie will continue its normal airing schedule on Wednesday (April 9) and Friday (April 11) also.
