Coronation Street and Emmerdale have been pulled from ITV’s schedule tonight (Monday 29 July).
Both shows usually air 30-minute instalments on weeknights, with Emmerdale airing at 8pm and Corrie following at 8:30pm.
But neither soap will be airing in their usual slot tonight, with ITV1 showing coverage of the Brazil v Japan FIFA World Cup 2026 game instead.
Coverage of the match will begin at 5:15pm and run until 8:35pm
However, fans looking for their soap fix needn’t worry, as Emmerdale will return on Tuesday at 7:15pm for a 30-minute episode.
There’ll also be a 30 minute-long episode of Corrie on the channel on Tuesday, starting at 8:15pm.
The schedule shake-up comes after it was revealed who killed villain Theo Silverton on Corrie.
The murder mystery storyline had been unfolding for weeks after Theo’s body was discovered on the day of Carla and Lisa’s wedding.
