Viewers of the ITV soaps Coronation Street will have most likely realised by now that the football has taken over the channel.
This week, a huge schedule change has seen the soaps shift away from their usual timeslots.
With a new soap schedule airing this week, ITV has now confirmed that the latest soap episodes will be available early on ITVX.
Coronation Street schedule changes
Coronation Street usually airs on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays for one hour from 8pm-9pm.
However, due to the Euros airing on ITV this week, the soaps haven’t been able to air as usual.
Tonight (Monday, June 17), Coronation Street will air.
This week’s schedule will instead see Corrie airing afterwards at 8pm-9pm.
Wednesday (June 19) will see Corrie will follow at 8pm-9pm.
On Friday (June 21) Corrie airing at 8pm-9pm.
Coronation Street confirm early ITVX episodes
For quite some time, rival BBC soap EastEnders has been airing it’s week-daily episodes on iPlayer in the mornings. Episodes are made available for early release ahead of being aired on the main channel on the evening.
With the Euros flooding the ITV main channel, Coronation Street will now be taking a leaf out of EastEnders’ book (albeit temporarily.)
ITV has now confirmed that the soaps will be made available early via ITVX from 7am on the day they’re due to air on ITV1.
This means that viewers can watch the soaps in the morning if they can’t wait to find out what happens next!
