Coronation Street viewers should take note of a temporary adjustment to the show’s broadcast time this evening as ITV implements a festive programming schedule. Due to special holiday content and seasonal scheduling across the network, tonight’s episode of the long-running British soap will begin slightly later than its usual slot.

ITV routinely updates its schedule around major holidays and festive periods, prioritising special events, seasonal shows and themed programming that appeal to wide audience interests. As a result, regular programmes may shift by a few minutes to accommodate these changes, and Coronation Street is no exception.

Fans tuning in later today will find that the episode starts at a revised time — a shift designed to streamline the network’s holiday lineup while still keeping the show accessible to its dedicated audience. ITV has confirmed that the broadcast adjustment is temporary and applies only to this particular evening’s schedule. Normal timing is expected to resume in the following week.

Despite the slight change in airtime, the content of Coronation Street remains uninterrupted, and viewers can still expect the same level of drama, storytelling depth and character development that has made the series a staple of British television for decades. The adjustment does not affect future episodes or the show’s production schedule.

Regular fans who plan their evenings around Coronation Street may want to check their local listings or the ITV guide to ensure they don’t miss the episode, especially as this festive period often features emotionally charged stories and seasonal twists that add to the show’s appeal.

The holiday schedule change highlights ITV’s broader effort to balance special programming with regular fan favourites, ensuring viewers have access to both festive treats and ongoing series continuity throughout the season.
