ITV Soaps Schedule 16th–20th March 2026: Times & Spoilers

If you’re planning your weekday telly around the Dales and the cobbles, both Emmerdale and Coronation Street are airing as usual from Monday 16th March to Friday 20th March 2026.

ITV soaps schedule this week

From Monday 16th March to Friday 20th March 2026:

Emmerdale airs from 8pm to 8:30pm
Coronation Street airs from 8:30pm to 9pm

So yes, it is a full week of both soaps with no annoying midweek shuffle throwing everybody off.

ITV soaps schedule 16th to 20th March 2026 with Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 8.30pm — *Schedule times are based on ITV’s current soap power hour slots. Are you watching live at 8… or sneaking the 7am ITVX drop before anyone can spoil it?*

Emmerdale spoilers (16th–20th March)

It looks like a very messy week in the village.

Paddy and Dylan are charged after the fallout from Bear’s huge mistake, leaving the family reeling as the police case takes another turn.
Graham wants to prove himself to Joe, but with Joe already at the centre of growing suspicion, that could be easier said than done. Radio Times also flags that April becomes suspicious of Graham, which adds another layer to the drama.
Pollard is on a mission, while Cain faces more trouble at home, so it is definitely not shaping up to be a quiet week for the Dingles either.
The wider spoiler round-ups also point to Joe Tate’s secrets being exposed before he is attacked and left for dead, setting up what sounds like another proper soap whodunnit.

Coronation Street spoilers (16th–20th March)

Over in Weatherfield, things sound every bit as chaotic.

Theo drugs Todd as he prepares to leave, which is clearly one of the week’s biggest and darkest storylines.
The spoiler coverage also points to Todd and Theo’s separation becoming a major focus, so expect more fallout from that relationship as the week unfolds.
Elsewhere, Alya, Theo and Sam are all highlighted as part of the week’s big Corrie drama in Digital Spy’s spoiler round-up, with Radio Times also referencing the Theo storyline as the headline plot for the week.
So basically, if anyone in either soap gets a peaceful five minutes this week, it will be a miracle.
