Emmerdale, Coronation Street, EastEnders air tonight despite football schedule changes

Football has changed the soap schedules this week

| Updated:

Emmerdale, Coronation Street and EastEnders have all been moved about this week due to the football, but which soaps are on tonight (Friday, March 4)?

Are Emmerdale, Coronation Street and EastEnders on tonight?

The answer is yes. Emmerdale, Coronation Street and EastEnders will all be on tonight.

Emmerdale will be on at 7pm for an hour. This is because last night (Thursday, March 3) ITV only aired a half an hour episode of Emmerdale, when it usually airs two half an hour episodes on a Thursday.

After Emmerdale tonight, an hour-long episode of Coronation Street will air at 8pm.

Meanwhile over on BBC, there will be two episodes of EastEnders on. This is because there was no EastEnders on Tuesday, March 1.

The first EastEnders episode will air at 8pm tonight on BBC One, followed by another episode at 8.30pm.

What’s happening in tonight’s soaps?

In tonight’s episode of Emmerdale Marlon negotiates a great deal with Mack to return to the Woolpack.

Meanwhile in Corrie, Adam finds himself in trouble with the police after Lydia accuses him of threatening behaviour and criminal damage.
