Coronation Street is on tonight after ITV schedule shake-up

Coronation Street will air tonight on ITV after a schedule shake-up.

The long-running soap traditionally airs a double header of 30 minute episodes on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.

But this week, the Manchester-based soap didn't air as usual on Wednesday, March 2 as there was live football action on ITV instead, which saw Liverpool FC victorious against Norwich City.

Only Emmerdale aired, with soap fans missing out on their usual Weatherfield drama.

To make up for it, Coronation Street aired on Friday, March 4 for an extra special hour long episode.

Corrie will also air a special episode today, Sunday March 6, to catch-up ahead of a major schedule shake up next week.

From next week all three of the main soaps will begin airing at new times, while Emmerdale is moving to 7.30pm every day.

On Thursdays, there will be an hour-long episode of the soap.

There will be hour-long episodes of Corrie airing Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings every week at 8pm.
