Coronation Street faces more scheduling chaos this week, with Friday’s episode being pulled from its usual slot.

The soap has been subject to many changes in recent weeks in order to accommodate live sports matches.

This will continue this week as ITV airs coverage of the UEFA Women’s Nations League on Friday evening.

As such, Friday’s Coronation Street has been pulled from the schedules as England’s Lionesses take on Portugal’s women’s team in the championship.

However, Corrie fans will not miss out on any of the Weatherfield action, as the soap airs an episode tonight (Tuesday) at 8pm instead.

The episode is also already available to stream on ITVX.

Having also already aired on Monday, the week on the cobbles will wrap up on Wednesday at 8pm on ITV1 or from 7am on ITVX.

It’s a dramatic week on the Street as Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis) is attacked and left for dead after his prison escape.

And in a shock twist, it is looking very much like stickler-for-the-rules-DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) could be the one to blame…

Earlier this month, it was announced big changes are coming to both Coronation Street and fellow ITV soap Emmerdale next year.

Each soap will revert to 30-minute episodes that will air from 8pm each weeknight, effectively cutting an episode each per week.

ITV bosses said the decision was made following audience research into viewing patterns, with the new scheduling pattern forming what execs are calling a ‘soap power hour’.
