What Time Is Coronation Street On? ITV1 Weeknights, the 7am ITVX Drop and Nights It Skips
Quick answer: Coronation Street is on ITV1 from 8.30pm to 9pm, Monday to Friday, straight after Emmerdale. The same episode is on ITVX from 7am that morning. On nights when ITV1 shows live football, there's no episode at all.
Most weeks that's the whole story. The exceptions are what bring people looking for it, so this page keeps the regular slot and the current week in one place, and updates the dated box above each week.
What time is Coronation Street on tonight?
8.30pm on ITV1, if it's a normal weekday; in the week of 2 November there is no episode on Friday 6 November because ITV1's guide has the Nations Championship in the evening. ITV's guide shows the same half-hour on every weeknight it lists except the two football Tuesdays, 29 September and 6 October, with Emmerdale in front at 8pm. There are normally no Saturday or Sunday episodes; ITV1's listings had an extra one, episode 186, on Sunday 11 October at 8.30pm.
Each episode lasts 30 minutes, so Corrie is finished by 9pm. Our Emmerdale times guide covers the first half of that hour.
When does Coronation Street come out on ITVX?
7am on the day of broadcast. TVmaze lists every 2026 episode against its ITVX date with a 7am release, and ITV set out the same rule when it announced the half-hour format.
That means an 8.30pm episode is available about 13 and a half hours before ITV1 shows it. If you watch on the commute, you're a full evening ahead of the TV audience. Our guide to the 8pm soap hour and ITVX explains the free and Premium tiers.
Why is Coronation Street not on tonight?
On a weekday, it's nearly always live football on ITV1, though not every time: Thursday 22 October has no episode because ITV1 is showing the Pride of Britain Awards 2026 from 8pm, according to TV Guide. A 7.45pm kick-off fills the whole 8pm to 9pm hour, and ITV takes both soaps out for the night rather than moving them later.
Tuesday 29 September was one of those nights, with Czech Republic v England in the Nations League, and Tuesday 6 October was another, with England v Czech Republic. No episode is lost, and the numbers pick up on Wednesday. With no broadcast, there's no 7am ITVX release that day either. Our football nights guide keeps the full list of clashes, and the Wednesday 16 September one is written up in why Corrie wasn't on that Wednesday.
Looking further ahead, Live Football on TV lists England v Croatia on ITV1 on Thursday 12 November, with a 7.45pm kick-off squarely in the soap hour. ITV's own guide only runs about a week ahead, so treat that one as likely rather than confirmed until it lists it. The earlier clash this autumn, Liverpool v Chelsea in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday 28 October, took that night's episode out: neither TVmaze nor TV Guide listed one.
The clocks go back on Sunday 25 October. After that, the 8.30pm slot is 8.30pm GMT rather than BST, but nothing about the time on your screen changes.
How many Coronation Street episodes are there in a week?
Five in a normal week, one per weeknight. In a football week it's four, and occasionally three.
We counted the whole of 2026 from TVmaze's episode list. From Thursday 1 January to Friday 2 October there are 197 weekdays, and 172 of them have a new episode. That leaves 25 weekdays with no Corrie. The year's running total is higher, at 181, because TVmaze also files eight Sunday episodes from earlier in the year and one day with two.
Those gaps cluster. Eleven of them fall between 5 June and 14 July, the summer of the World Cup. The rest are spread across the year, mostly single midweek nights.
Did Coronation Street change its episodes in 2026?
Yes. Since January 2026 it has been a single 30-minute episode each weeknight. The year before looked different: TVmaze records 155 episodes across 2025, with runtimes split between roughly 45-minute and roughly 22-minute instalments.
By 2 October this year, Corrie had already reached episode 181 of 2026. So there are more episodes now, each one shorter, and every one of them in the same 8.30pm slot.
Can I watch Coronation Street on YouTube?
Sometimes. The official Coronation Street channel has posted full episodes, including Monday 24 August's, embedded above. It isn't a replacement for ITVX, which holds every episode from 7am.
ITV's guide also lists daytime runs badged Classic Coronation Street. Those are archive episodes, not the current week's new ones.
Questions readers ask
Is Coronation Street on at the weekend?
Not normally. There are no regular Saturday or Sunday episodes, though ITV1's listings had an extra one, episode 186, on Sunday 11 October at 8.30pm, and TVmaze and TV Guide list another on Sunday 25 October at 8.30pm; our weekend soaps guide covers catching up.
What's on either side of Corrie?
Emmerdale at 8pm on ITV1, and, on the nights they air, Hollyoaks and EastEnders earlier in the evening on other channels. Our night-by-night soap guide lays out all four, and the soaps this week page has episode-by-episode detail.
What's on ITV1 before the soaps?
The Chase at 5pm on weekdays. Our sister site covers it in how to watch The Chase.
