Why ITV's Coronation Street isn't on tonight and when it will return

Fans of Coronation Street may be disappointed to learn the ITV soap has been cancelled tonight, on February 4.

ITV announced it will continue its coverage of the 2022 Emirates FA Cup with four live matches in the fourth round of the competition, meaning the soaps this week have been moved or cancelled completely.

This week has seen a huge TV schedule shake up as they aired an hour-long episode of the soap on Tuesday February 1 and two half-an-hour episodes on Wednesday February 2 to make up for the missing episode tonight.

Coverage of the football starts at 7.30pm, straight after Emmerdale, and finishes at 10.20pm, so Coronation Street has been bumped from its usual Friday slot.

The football match will see Manchester United go head to head against Middlesbrough.

Coronation Street should return to it's normal TV schedule of airing on Mondays and Wednesdays 7.30pm and 8.30pm with an hour-long episode at 7.30pm on Fridays as from next week.

If you missed any episodes of Coronation Street from this week they are available to watch on ITV Hub.
