Coronation Street faces more scheduling chaos this week, with tonight’s episode being pulled from its usual slot. The soap has been subject to many changes in recent weeks in order to accommodate live sports matches. This will continue this week as ITV airs coverage of the UEFA Women’s Nations League this evening.

As such, tonight’s Coronation Street has been pulled from the schedules as England’s Lionesses take on Portugal’s women’s team in the championship. However, Corrie fans haven’t missed out on any of the Weatherfield action, as the soap aired from Monday to Wednesday instead.
If you missed it, then don’t panic, because the episodes are available to stream on ITVX.

It’s been a dramatic week on the Street as Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis) was attacked and left for dead after his prison escape.
After being pushed down the stairs by sister Carla Connor (Alison King), he woke up and made a run for it, much to the horror of police. Things are set to go back to normal for the ITV soap at the beginning of next week, with episodes airing as usual at 8pm on Monday and Wednesday.
However, instead of another episode next Friday, Corrie viewers will need to tune in at 9pm on Thursday for the final instalment of the week. This is due to an FA Cup football match between Aston Villa and Cardiff City airing in the soaps usual slot. Earlier this month, it was announced big changes are coming to both Coronation Street and fellow ITV soap Emmerdale next year.
Each soap will revert to 30-minute episodes that will air from 8pm each weeknight, effectively cutting an episode each per week. ITV bosses said the decision was made following audience research into viewing patterns, with the new scheduling pattern forming what execs are calling a ‘soap power hour’.
Coronation Street airs continues on Tuesday and Wednesday at 8pm on ITV1 or stream first from 7am on ITVX.
