EastEnders and Coronation Street ditched as Emmerdale moved in chaotic soap shake-up
Albert Square and The Cobbles are closed tonight as the big TV schedules in upheaval for sports coverage.
EastEnders, Emmerdale and Corrie fans will be left disappointed when tuning in to the soaps this week only to find they've been pulled from their regular spots.
The shows have faced a major shake-up to make way for the FA Cup live matches.
EastEnders, which normally airs Monday through Thursday on BBC One, will be absent from screens tonight, February 27, as the channel airs the Blackburn Rovers versus Newcastle United game from 7.30pm.
On Wednesday, the soap will also be ditched for the Nottingham Forest versus Manchester United match.
Coronation Street viewers will also not see any action on The Cobbles and will be airing its episode on Thursday night instead.
The soap will be back on screens on Thursday, February 29, with a double episode on Friday.
However, you can still tune into iPlayer to stream the new episodes from 6am Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, as there will be no change in schedule there.
Meanwhile, on ITV, Emmerdale will be moved to 7pm to make way for Luton Town vs Manchester City at 7.30pm and tomorrow (Wednesday, February 28) the soap will be moved to 7pm for the Liverpool vs Southampton game.
Emmerdale normally hits screens weeknights from 7.30pm-8pm, except on Thursdays when it airs an hour-long episode. Corrie airs from 8pm-9pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
