Emmerdale changes time slots again tonight (Tuesday February 11) which means it won’t air at its usual 7.30pm time.

After a week of schedule changes last week, it seems we’re not done and can’t rely on it being on at 7.30pm. So when is Emmerdale on tonight?

What time is Emmerdale on tonight?

As a result of (yep, you guessed it) football once again, Emmerdale will air at an earlier time tonight.

It’s the FA Cup screening on ITV live with Exeter City taking on Nottingham Forest. The two will kick-off at 8pm, meaning coverage starts at 7.30pm.

Emmerdale will therefore be on earlier at 7pm.

And it’s not the only time change for the soap this week. Things are back to normal tomorrow night (Wednesday February 12), but on Thursday it’s back to 7pm for Emmerdale again. This time it’s because of a live hour-long special of the Martin Lewis Money Show.

With football and other live sporting events stepping up, we can expect more soap schedule changes in the coming weeks too. Maybe when we switch to the soap ‘power-hour’ new schedule in January 2026, things will settle down a bit? Probably not!

All the action tonight

After Joe’s overreaction to Noah turning down the Dubai job last night (Monday February 10) Noah is a bit weirded out. He then finds his tools have been stolen from his van overnight.

Noah is forced to accept the job in Dubai, feeling he has no alternative now he has no equipment. However just as Joe begins to celebrate his win, Charity and Noah reveal they’ve been bluffing him. They knew he was behind the theft.

Realising he’s been conned, what will Joe do next?

Things are also not looking great for Joe on the romance front. Charity tells Dawn she knows about their affair, but says she won’t tell anybody. However she does warn Dawn off Joe.

Troubled Dawn is upset by Joe’s attitude towards Charity’s threats and soon realises he doesn’t care about her at all. Understanding she was a just a bit of fun and her family mean nothing to him, what will Dawn do next?

After tonight, we’re building up to the big stunt on Friday when a limo will crash into a lake. But who will survive?
