Tonight’s Schedule Change

Coronation Street will not be airing tonight due to the Euro 2025 qualifiers, with England’s women’s team facing Sweden at Wembley Stadium. The football coverage will occupy ITV1 from 7:30 PM to 10:15 PM.

Regular Broadcasting Schedule

Coronation Street typically broadcasts three one-hour episodes per week. The Friday evening slot usually runs from 8 PM to 9 PM. For those who can’t wait, new episodes are normally available on ITVX every morning at 7 AM.

Upcoming Storylines

ITV has teased viewers with exciting storylines coming up this September, including a special hour-long episode focusing on Asha Alahan, played by Tanisha Gorey. In upcoming episodes, viewers can expect to see Dee-Dee confronting the truth about Laila following their kiss, Tracy investigating deeper, and developments in Steve and Cassie’s situation.

Future Changes

ITV is planning a major shake-up to its soap schedule in 2026, with both Coronation Street and Emmerdale affected. The changes will introduce what’s being called the soap ‘power hour’ starting next January. The changes come as streaming statistics show impressive growth, with Coronation Street and Emmerdale achieving 124 million streams on ITVX in the first quarter of 2025, representing a 35 percent increase compared to the previous year.

Historical Significance

Coronation Street, affectionately known as Corrie, has been a staple of British television on ITV since December 9, 1960. The series centers around a cobbled, terraced street in the fictional town of Weatherfield in Greater Manchester, with the location inspired by Salford, the hometown of the show’s creator, Tony Warren.
