There are no schedule shake-ups to deal with this week, which honestly makes a nice change.
Emmerdale and Coronation Street are both on every weekday from Monday 27th April to Friday 1st May 2026.
ITV’s current 2026 soap pattern remains Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 8:30pm, and both shows returned to those slots after last Friday’s disruption for the I’m A Celebrity… South Africa final (wasn’t that eventful!). Episodes also continue to drop on ITVX from 7am on transmission day.

So yes, it is a full week of soaps with no football, no jungle final and no random schedule wobble for once.
