The soaps have been removed from their usual time slots due to coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Viewers can normally tune in to the drama every week night at 8pm and 8.30pm.‌Both soaps have been forced to take a backseat over the past few weeks. The World Cup kickstarted last month and matches are regularly broadcast on ITV1. This means Corrie and Emmerdale have often been cancelled or rescheduled.‌Tonight, both soaps have been taken off air. Coverage of Switzerland vs Colombia begins at 8.15pm, ready for a 9pm kick-off time, which causes disruption to the soap power hour.‌Content cannot be displayed wi
