What time is Emmerdale on tonight? Is is on ITVX?

On Wednesday, March 11, Emmerdale will be on in its usual time slot of 8pm. It is then followed by Coronation Street, which airs at 8.30pm.

However, for eager fans, the episode is already available to watch on ITVX. Both soaps are released on ITVX and YouTube every day at 7am.

Over the last few weeks, there has been a lot of disruption to the soaps for sport. 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!

Soap power hour has begun

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’ starting from January 2026 sees Emmerdale continue to air five nights a week. New episodes will 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 will also be 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.
