Between football, rugby and other special shows, ITV tends to shift the soap schedule around. And boy, have they been shifting A LOT lately! But we’ve got you covered with all the up-to-date schedule changes right here!
What time is Emmerdale on tonight? Is it on ITVX?
Emmerdale fans rejoice: the dramatic aftermath of wedding week is on TV tonight, Wednesday, September 2. It airs at its usual time of 8pm. Coronation Street, which usually follows, will also be on in its time slot of 8.30pm.
Streaming is available once again on ITVX and YouTube. They usually release episodes every day from 7am for anyone who can’t wait until tonight to watch.
With all the disruption over the summer, some think if ITV brought the power hour earlier, it might make more sense, as then the soaps could possibly still air whenever the sport is on!
What happens in Emmerdale tonight?
Emmerdale fans fear not, the aftermath to the crash isn’t over yet. Instead, it’s actually set to get even more dramatic. For months viewers have been wondering when the iconic Sadie King will return. And it seems that question is finally answered as her arrival in the village brings accusations that have devastating consequences.
Elsewhere, it’s clear that Gabby is hiding something, and it is clearly weighing heavily on her mind.
And finally, Vinny tells Kev he’s decided to postpone proposing to Lewis. But how will he take the news?
Soap power hour is a hit
In October 2024, Emmerdale began streaming the daily episode of the soap from 7am. Despite some concerns that it meant the soap was in trouble, coupled with lots of cast exits, it has been revealed that actually it was a great move by ITV as stats revealed viewing was way up.
The soap then announced a new schedule. The soap ‘power hour’ started in January 2026 and sees Emmerdale continue to air five nights a week. New episodes also drop on ITVX every morning at 7am as usual.
However, the soap has moved to a new time slot of 8pm. The Thursday double bill was also cut to half an hour to make way for additional episodes of Coronation Street.
This ensures faster-paced, digestible episodes – a 30-minute format which has already proven popular with viewers.
However, it also seems that the changes don’t stop the disruption caused by sports.
