Emmerdale and Coronation Street viewers face a changed ITV1 timetable this week, with Tuesday’s episodes running five minutes later than usual and both soaps absent from Thursday and Friday’s schedules. The revised listings for 10–13 November 2026 mean that checking the date matters just as much as remembering the familiar 8pm soap hour.
What time is Emmerdale on Tuesday 10 November?
Emmerdale is listed on ITV1 at 8.05pm on Tuesday 10 November, rather than its usual 8pm start. The half-hour instalment is followed by Coronation Street at 8.35pm, five minutes later than its normal 8.30pm slot. Both times are for UK viewers and relate to the linear ITV1 broadcasts.
The temporary adjustment follows a longer lead-in to the evening’s programmes. Reporting on the revised schedule says ITV has allocated time for the premiere of Waitrose’s festive advert, The Perfect Gift 2, featuring Keira Knightley and Joe Wilkinson. The five-minute move does not signal a permanent change to either soap’s regular broadcast slot.
Viewers who tune in at the customary times should therefore find that Emmerdale has not yet begun at 8pm, while Coronation Street follows directly afterwards. It is a small difference, but one worth noting for anyone recording the programmes or planning their evening around them.
Why are both soaps missing on Thursday and Friday?
The more substantial disruption comes later in the week. Current listings show new episodes on Monday 9, Tuesday 10 and Wednesday 11 November, but no new Emmerdale or Coronation Street episodes on Thursday 12 or Friday 13 November.
ITV1’s Thursday evening schedule is occupied by England’s football fixture against Croatia, while Friday’s coverage features the France versus South Africa rugby international. These sporting broadcasts take over the usual slots for the two dramas. The matches explain the change to the television schedule; this is a broadcasting update, not a report about either sporting contest.
The programmes are not being described as cancelled series. It is the individual evening instalments that are missing from this week’s listings. That distinction matters because a temporary interruption can easily be mistaken for a longer break when viewers search for a favourite soap at its usual time.
When do Emmerdale and Coronation Street return?
Both dramas are scheduled to air at their familiar times on Wednesday 11 November: Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 8.30pm. Following the two-day interruption, listings indicate a return on Monday 16 November, again with Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 8.30pm.
There is currently no replacement Sunday episode listed for 15 November. Anyone expecting ITV to make up the missing Thursday and Friday episodes over the weekend should not assume that will happen. Television schedules can change, so the latest ITV1 guide remains the sensible final check before watching or setting a recording.
Can viewers watch the episodes on ITVX?
ITV’s established soap release arrangement normally makes each day’s new episode available on ITVX from 7am ahead of its evening ITV1 transmission. That provides an alternative for viewers who prefer to watch before the television broadcast or who cannot make the later Tuesday start.
However, the early streaming arrangement should not be taken to mean that additional new episodes are available on days when none is scheduled. The reported Thursday and Friday omissions concern new instalments, not merely a different evening start time.
For the most reliable viewing plan, the key dates are Tuesday 10 November at 8.05pm and 8.35pm, Wednesday 11 November at 8pm and 8.30pm, and the expected resumption on Monday 16 November. This is a practical schedule guide rather than a spoiler about any character’s fate.
What should fans check before the next episode?
Because the revised timetable covers both of ITV’s major continuing dramas, it is worth checking the channel listing for the particular day rather than relying on the usual Monday-to-Friday routine. The published times apply to ITV1; local television guides and recording services may display their own regional information.
The change also comes during a busy period for ongoing storylines in both soaps. The scheduling adjustment does not, on its own, establish anything about forthcoming departures, returns or plot outcomes. Those claims require separate programme announcements and should not be inferred from a missing broadcast.
For now, viewers can treat this as a shortened ITV soap week, with a brief Tuesday delay, a normal Wednesday pairing and no new Thursday or Friday episodes currently listed.
