Sporting events being broadcast on ITV1 recently have forced Coronation Street’s usual schedule to be shaken up quite a lot.
But in the latest schedule change, it’s certainly not bad news for Corrie fans.
This is because there will be an extra episode of Weatherfield drama airing this week.
Let’s take a look at when you can expect to catch up with even more of the latest storylines hitting the cobbles.
Next week: Gary gets his hands on Mason, Tracy's caught in the act and is Joel up to something?

Why is Coronation Street on tonight?
Loyal viewers will know the ITV soap doesn’t usually air on Tuesday nights, however the programme will be airing tonight (February 13) as an extra episode this week.
It could be making up for the episode that was removed from the ITV schedule on February 2 which was replaced by the first Six Nations game between France and Ireland.
Coronation Street will air from 8pm until 9pm on ITV1 this evening.
When is Coronation Street on TV this week?
- Monday, February 12: 8pm
- Tuesday, February 13: 8pm
- Wednesday, February 14: 8pm
- Friday, February 16: 8pm
@itvcorrie confirmed the news on X, formerly Twitter, and some viewers revealed they aren't too happy with the recent schedule changes.
Happy Monday, everyone!

Others don’t agree with the hour-long episodes and are calling for the soap to revert to half-hour slots instead.
This tweet reads: “please go back half a hour episodes I hate hour long episodes u don't see eastenders Neighbours holyoaks home and away Emmerdale hour long.”
“#Corrie @itvcorrie @ITV please go back to half hour episodes pair it with #emmerdale weeknights, hour long ok but just for big storyline episodes, also if any displacement due to sport easier reschedule half hour not hour long eps,” agreed another.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
