But during the summer of sport both have had major schedule shake-ups and that is continuing this week as the World Cup knockout stages roll on.
When is Emmerdale cancelled this week?
Soap fans are in for a treat right from the start of this week with an hour-long episode of Emmerdale on Monday, July 6 at 7.30pm.
On Tuesday there will be no episode of Emmerdale broadcast. is showing two games in its place.
The Argentina vs Egypt match will be broadcast from 4.15pm with kick-off from 5pm, and then the Switzerland vs Colombia game airs from 8.15pm with a 9pm kick-off.
Wednesday, July 8 sees Emmerdale returning to its usual slot with a 30-minute episode at 8pm.
On Thursday, July 9, once again there is no episode. That’s because ITV is showing the France vs Morocco match instead with coverage starting at 8.15pm ahead of a 9pm kick-off.
Friday, July 10, has another hour-long episode of Emmerdale, this time at 8pm.
- Monday, July 6: 7.30pm – 8.30pm (Hour-long special)
- Tuesday, July 7: No episode (Cancelled for Switzerland vs Colombia)
- Wednesday, July 8: 8pm – 8.30pm
- Thursday, July 9: No episode (Cancelled for France vs Morocco)
- Friday, July 10: 8pm – 9pm (Hour-long special)
When do the hour-long ‘specials’ air on ITV?
In December, ITV announced the launch of its soap – where each half-hour episode of Emmerdale is followed by Coronation Street at 8.30pm.
With sport taking centre stage this summer there have been many disruptions to these soap-tastic power hours.
ITV has made up for this with the hour-long individual episodes of both soaps like this week’s Monday and Friday (July 6 and 10) broadcasts.
Fans will still get the equivalent of five half-hour episodes of Emmerdale this week, just in a slightly different format.
How to watch episodes on YouTube and ITVX
Emmerdale is broadcast on ITV1, but soap lovers can watch on catch-up or even before the episode airs.
Every episode of Emmerdale drops on and at 7am on the day it is due to air.
