Coronation Street rescheduled as ITV airs Rugby World Cup in its place
The soap is getting a schedule switch-up on Friday 8th September.
Coronation Street fans are in for a change of schedule next week, when the soap is bumped from its usual Friday slot by the Rugby World Cup.
The World Cup will start airing on ITV from Friday 8th September 2023, with France's match against New Zealand being broadcast on the channel from 6:45pm until 10:35pm.
This means there will be no brand new episode of Coronation Street that day, as it will instead air at 9pm on Thursday 7th September.
The next episode will then be expected to air on Monday 11th September.
The Rugby World Cup is this year taking place in France and will run until the final on Saturday 28th October.

Meanwhile, Tyrone's mum Cassie, played by Claire Sweeney, has continued to struggle with her drug addiction, and in a recent episode was attacked while doing a drug deal.
Sweeney previously said of her character: "I love Cassie and I hope the audience love her as much as I do. She's vulnerable, she's troubled and she's got major problems.
"As I'm reading the scripts, I want her to sort herself out because we all love Tyrone – you don't want anything to upset him, do you? It's nice to see a different side to Evelyn as a mother as well.
"Cassie is feisty and she's going to cause some trouble on the cobbles. She's a loose cannon, but then she's vulnerable as well."
