Soap fans are being warned of a shake-up to the TV schedule this week - with Coronation Street set to be affected. The ITV icon has once again been moved around because of football.
The usual end of week trip to Weatherfield has been scrapped as the FA Cup is set to return, causing disruptions to the usual schedule. It follows on from the rugby bumping it last week as well.

Why isn’t Coronation Street on TV tonight?
Once again live sport has caused ITV to massively rejig its TV schedule - and it is Corrie that has been moved around. There is football on the channel on both Thursday (February 6) and Friday (February 7) - first with the Carabao Cup and then the FA Cup fourth round.
Corrie airs three hour-long episodes a week, although that will change in 2026. Due to the live football being on, the soap was moved around and broadcast on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week (February 3 - 5).
