Coronation Street schedule changes due to FA Cup coverage
ITV has confirmed details of the schedule changes.
ITV has announced some key changes to the Coronation Street schedule this week thanks to its continuing coverage of the 2022 Emirates FA Cup.
Coronation Street typically airs two half-hour episodes at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays and one episode on Fridays, but the Weatherfield favourite’s schedule will look slightly different this week.
The popular soap will be forced off air on Friday 4th February to make way for a clash between Manchester United and Middlesbrough as the FA Cup kicks off its fourth round.
To make up for Coronation Street’s absence on Friday, ITV will air an hour-long episode on Tuesday and two half-hour episodes on Wednesday.
However, fans will be relieved to hear that Coronation Street will air as usual on Monday, with two half-hour episodes.
