But when can you expect Coronation Street in the coming days? Here’s all you need to know:

When is Coronation Street on this week?

ITV has confirmed when Corrie will be on TV this week - starting on March 31. Fortunately viewers won’t be feeling like an April Fool in the coming days as there will be a full slate.

Coronation Street will air episodes on these dates:

• Monday, March 31 - 8pm to 9pm
• Wednesday, April 2 - 8pm to 9pm
• Thursday, April 3 - 9pm to 10pm

The only real change is Corrie moving to a Thursday night again, due to live sport taking its normal Friday evening slot. But there will be the full set of three hour-long episodes.

However from 2026 this could change, as the soap is set to return to a five days-a-week schedule - with 30 minute episodes.
