What time is Coronation Street on tonight?

Coronation Street will air tonight (Monday, March 16) on ITV  between 8.30pm-9pm. This is because a new ‘soap power hour’ has kicked in.

For those who don’t want to wait, they can watch the episode on ITVX and YouTube from 7am.

What happens in Coronation Street on tonight?

Tonight, panic hits the café when Nina notices Sam looking pale and shaky, barely touching his food. As Eva moves in to check on him, Megan arrives – and Sam bolts in sheer fright. Eva chases after him, but before she can reach him, he collapses on the pavement. Megan quickly calls an ambulance.

Meanwhile, Kit’s nerves are jangling when Lisa questions him about the attack on Mal Roper – and things get worse when a witness suddenly points the finger at him.

Elsewhere, George frets over the smear campaign while heartbroken Todd watches Theo pack up the last of his things.

This change was actually welcomed by many fans, with stats for the first quarter of 2025 confirming 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 there will be more changes in the near-future where the soap schedule is concerned over on ITV as the channel prepares to introduce ‘soap power hour’ from the second week of January 2026.

Instead of airing just three days a week, Corrie will air every weekday but for only half an hour.

Corrie will air Monday-Friday from 8.30pm-9pm. New episodes will also drop on ITVX every morning at 7am as usual.
