Is Coronation Street on Tonight?
Coronation Street is not airing tonight (Tuesday, February 3, 2026). ITV has replaced the usual slot with live coverage of the EFL Cup semi-final, meaning there will be no episode on ITV1 or the usual early drop on ITVX today.
Under the current weekday schedule, Corrie typically airs Monday to Friday, but major sports broadcasts can push the soap off air for the night.
The show is set to return tomorrow (Wednesday, February 4) at its regular time. Since there’s no broadcast today, no new episode will be available on ITVX, which normally releases episodes from 7 a.m. on days when the show airs.
Coronation Street Weekly Schedule in 2026
ITV rolled out this change starting January 2026: shorter 30-minute episodes of Emmerdale at 8:00 p.m. followed immediately by 30-minute Coronation Street at 8:30 p.m., running Monday through Friday every week.
Executive Producer Iain MacLeod explained that it makes the shows easier to fit into busy lives—perfect for lunch breaks, commutes, or quick evening watches on phones or ITVX.
