Emmerdale and Coronation Street fans given 'heads up' as soaps are cancelled

Emmerdale and Coronation Street bosses have given soap fans a "heads up" ahead of major schedule changes due to the World Cup.

The football tournament kicked off on Sunday (November 20), and will run until December 8 . ITV will be providing coverage of the football matches, meaning that Coronation Street and Emmerdale will be aired at different times to normal.

On Monday (November 21), neither of the soaps will be broadcast at all.

On Instagram, a shared post from Emmerdale and Coronation Street's official accounts said: "Heads up, our schedules are a little different whilst the World Cup is on. Here's what to expect this week!

"As an extra treat, all episodes are ready to binge as a box set each Monday morning. But remember, this is a spoiler free zone".

A picture has then explained when soap fans can get their fix this week. Emmerdale will air from 7-8pm on Tuesday (November 22), Wednesday (November 23), Thursday (November 24). There will also be an episode shown from 6-7pm on Sunday (November 27).

Coronation Street will be broadcast from 8-9pm on Wednesday (November 23) and Thursday (November 24). An extra episode will air on Sunday (November 27) from 7-8pm.

No soaps will air on ITV on Friday (November 25), as the broadcaster will instead provide coverage of the England v USA game from 6.05pm.
