Coronation Street is off ITV tonight (Wednesday September 16) as football takes over the schedule again in the soap’s usual time slot. So when is Corrie back on, and when can fans catch the next episode?
The latest ITV schedule change means both Coronation Street and Emmerdale are missing from tonight’s line-up, with the soaps returning on Thursday.
Here’s everything you need to know about when Corrie is back on ITV, plus what’s coming up in the next episode.
Is Coronation Street on tonight?
Coronation Street will not air on Wednesday September 16. Emmerdale, which usually airs first, is also off the schedule.
Today’s episode of Corrie is not available on ITVX or YouTube either. Episodes are usually released from 7am for viewers who want to watch ahead or have a little more flexibility, but with no episode airing tonight, there is no early release either. Boo.
Coronation Street and Emmerdale will both return on Thursday (September 17) in their usual slots. Corrie will start at 8.30pm on ITV.
What happens in Coronation Street tomorrow?
Jodie continues her campaign against Shona, this time undermining her confidence ahead of a lunch date with David.
When they return, Shona becomes convinced she can hear Harper crying and races to the annexe door, only to find it locked.
David finds his wife beside herself with worry and his concerns for her continue to grow. Shona takes the baby out for a walk to calm down, but when Asha finds her and smells alcohol on her breath, could things be about to get even worse?
Elsewhere, Kit notices Bethany smiling when she receives messages from Ryan. Wanting to put what happened between them behind them, Kit encourages Bethany to go for it, as it’s obvious they like each other. But will she tell Ryan how she really feels?
Ross also begs Tyrone for forgiveness, but will his dad soften towards him? Meanwhile, Summer accepts a date with Marco, although she remains worried about it.
And Ben isn’t happy when Susie’s singing and dancing video appears on the Rovers’ social media. He wants it taken down because of safety concerns, but how will Susie react?
Soap power hour in 2026
Back in October 2024, Corrie began streaming daily episodes of the soap from 7am.
The change was welcomed by many fans, and figures from the first quarter of 2025 confirmed that ITVX had achieved a ‘record-breaking’ billion streams in a quarter for the ‘first time ever.’ Coronation Street and Emmerdale had clocked up 124 million ITVX streams so far that year, while soap viewing was up 35 percent compared with the first quarter of 2024.
Then, from January 2026, the schedule changed again. Following the huge Corriedale episode, Corrie moved from airing three days a week to airing every weekday, although each episode is now just half an hour long.
Emmerdale kicks off the ‘soap power hour’ at 8pm, followed by Corrie at 8.30pm. Both soaps usually air Monday to Friday, with new episodes also dropping on ITVX every morning at 7am as usual.
Coronation Street usually airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV.
