Why Coronation Street is not on tonight and when it’s back this week

There's one more day to wait

The ITV soap Coronation Street usually airs on Mondays but this week will see a slight schedule shakeup take place as the soap fails to air tonight (Monday, January 8).

This comes after the soap also didn’t air on Friday (January 5) for a similar reason.

But, why isn’t Coronation Street airing as usual tonight and when will it return to our screens?

Coronation Street replaced by coverage of the FA Cup

Coronation Street is usually on from 8-9pm on ITV on Mondays but tonight will be different.

There will be no Corrie tonight, with the soap being taken over by the FA Cup.

With kick off being at 8.15pm, Wigan Athletic will take on Manchester United in the third-round tie.

This means that Corrie will now not air until tomorrow at 8-9pm (Tuesday, January 9) – making a change to the soap’s schedule pattern.

After this, Corrie will also air on Wednesday (January 10) and Friday (January 12) this week.
