You don't need to miss a second of the action from the cobbles with our handy guide
Coronation Street is back on ITV1 and ITVX today (Friday, October 9) after it was dropped earlier this week to make way for football.
Footie, rugby and other special shows can cause ITV to tamper with the usual soap schedule to accommodate them. And these schedule changes have been happening a lot recently!
But we’ve got you covered with all the up-to-date schedule changes right here!
Is Coronation Street on tonight?
Yes, Coronation Street will air at 8.30pm on ITV1 tonight. Emmerdale will also air beforehand in its usual 8pm slot.
Streaming is also available on ITVX and YouTube, where episodes are available every day from 7am for anyone who can’t wait until the evening. You will also find past episodes in the same place if you need to catch up on any you might have missed.
What happens in Coronation Street tonight?
David calls an ambulance and explains that someone has been shot. The paramedics arrive together with the firearms officer. Lisa questions David about the shooting. Will David be able to shed any light?
DC McLaughlin tells Lisa that Kit has called in sick for the third time this week. When Lisa receives a report of a shooting on the Street, she hurries out.
In the hospital chemo room, the nurse talks Kit through the side effects of his treatment and urges him to speak to his boss as he won’t be fit for work. Kit calls at the station to find Lisa furiously typing up her notes. Lisa rounds on him for failing to answer his calls but when Kit reveals that he’s got cancer, Lisa’s stunned. Lisa promises Kit that she and the force will support him anyway they can.
Elsewhere, in the Rovers, Kevin and Ronnie discuss the shooting at No.8 and wonder if it was the gun that belonged to Fiona which was never found.
Soap power hour in 2026
In October 2024, Corrie started streaming daily episodes of the soap from 7am.
This change was actually welcomed by many fans. Stats for the first quarter of 2025 confirm that ITVX achieved a ‘record-breaking’ billion streams in a quarter for the ‘first time ever.’ Coronation Street and Emmerdale have raked up 124 million streams on ITVX so far this year. Soap viewing is up 35 per cent in comparison to the first quarter of 2024.
And then from January 2026, more changes came in. After the huge Corriedale episode, instead of airing just three days a week, Corrie now airs every weekday but for only half an hour.
Emmerdale begins the ‘soap power hour’ at 8pm and is followed by Corrie at 8.30pm. Both episodes are usually on Monday-Friday and new episodes also drop on ITVX every morning at 7am as usual.
