The Emmerdale schedule is all over the place this week as football causes disruption, but weâve got you covered â hereâs whether itâs on tonight (Friday June 12) and what happens.
ITV has been making regular changes to its soap line-up thanks to sport and special programming, and June is proving no different. If youâre wondering when Emmerdale is back on screen and whether youâll be able to watch it on ITVX, hereâs everything you need to know.
Is Emmerdale on tonight and can you watch it on ITVX?
On Friday, June 12, Emmerdale will air on ITV. And itâs on at the usual time of 8pm. What makes it even better for soap fans is that due to missed episodes last night, both Emmerdale and Coronation Street will air for an hour each.
Coronation Street which usually follows at 8.30pm, will move to the slightly later time of 9pm.
Last nightâs cancellation was because of the World Cup. It was the opening ceremony, followed by the opening game of the tournament.
Viewers will find Emmerdale and Coronation Street already available on ITVX or YouTube if they canât wait. New installments are normally uploaded from 7am each morning.
With football, rugby and other live events continuing to dominate parts of the ITV schedule, soap fans have become increasingly used to checking transmission times. Some viewers have even suggested ITV should move the soap power hour earlier in the evening to reduce the number of clashes.
What happens tonight in Emmerdale?
Thereâs drama for Caleb later in the week when he is scammed out of ÂŁ5000 with an AI version of Stephâs voice. Archie Breckle is behind the whole thing.
When Kerry finds out what heâs been up to, will she punish him?
Also, Gabby sets up her health food menu at The Hide. She is pleased when itâs a hit.
But when sheâs alone later she starts scrolling through social media and finds some much darker posts. As her obsession with healthy eating grows, will she take it too far?
Meanwhile, Graham urges Kyle to talk to Cain. He also gifts him one of his old army watches, but will Kyle open up to his dad?
ITVâs soap power hour remains popular
ITV launched its new soap âpower hourâ in January 2026. It keeps Emmerdale on air five nights a week while continuing the 7am ITVX releases.
The soap also moved to its current 8pm slot, while the former Thursday double bill was reduced to a single half-hour episode to allow for extra Coronation Street content.
The shorter format has proved popular with many viewers. It offers quicker-paced episodes that are easier to fit into busy evenings.
One thing the schedule overhaul hasnât solved, however, is the ongoing disruption caused by major sporting events. So for now, like tonight, Emmerdale fans may still need to keep one eye on the TV guide before settling down for a night in the Dales.
