Emmerdale will not air at 8pm tonight, here’s why and when it is back
Another week, another Emmerdale schedule change as the staple of the week night ITV schedule is taken off air again tonight (Friday March 6). It also hasn’t been released on ITVX, so when is it back?
The soap schedule can be messed around. It’s usually due to sport or one-off shows. And even now we’ve got the ‘soap power hour’, Emmerdale and Coronation Street are still not immune to changes. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered here so you know when you can watch Emmerdale next.
Is Emmerdale on tonight?
Emmerdale is not on on Friday March 6 and neither is Coronation Street. The two soaps usually air at 8pm and 8.30pm, but they are not on at all tonight.
As there are no episodes tonight, it means no ITVX early release either. Both are usually on the streaming site and YouTube at 7am.
It’s because of rugby – there is a Six Nations match which sees Ireland play Wales. Kick-off is at 8.10pm and the build-up coverage starts at 7.20pm on ITV.
