Coronation Street is once again on our screens tonight (Friday September 11) after shake-ups earlier in the week. But will it air in its usual time slot?
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!
What time is Coronation Street on tonight?
Coronation Street will once again air on Friday September 11 at the usual time between 8.30pm-9pm, following Emmerdale.
It’s usually down to football why the soaps get cancelled during the week. However, earlier this week both soaps were off air as ITV’s biggest stars battled it out be at the NTAs in London. Unfortunately for Coronation Street, they didn’t manage to pick up any awards on the big night. Both soap awards of the night went to Emmerdale.
Today’s episode of Corrie is also already available on ITVX and YouTube. It’s usually available from 7am for those who wish for more flexibility.

Lucy slips Shanice some money and urges her to go to the Kabin and buy some sweets. When Shanice points out that she’s not allowed out on her own, Lucy assures her that she won’t tell.
Brian arrives back with Shanice, explaining to Sally how she called in the Kabin by herself. Sally suspects Lucy was behind it but Lucy has more up her sleeve. Should Sally and Tim be very careful?
Finally, Betsy’s delighted when Bethany arrives to give her a manicure to cheer her up, all thanks to Ryan. But suddenly Betsy clutches her head in pain, fearing she’s having another stroke. Will she be okay?
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 percent 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.
