Sporting events being broadcast on ITV1 recently have forced Coronation Street’s usual schedule to be shaken up quite a lot.
But in the latest schedule change, it’s certainly not bad news for Corrie fans.
This is because there will be an extra episode of Weatherfield drama airing this week.
Let’s take a look at when you can expect to catch up with even more of the latest storylines hitting the cobbles.
Next week: Gary gets his hands on Mason, Tracy's caught in the act and is Joel up to something?

Why is Coronation Street on tonight?
Loyal viewers will know the ITV soap doesn’t usually air on Tuesday nights, however the programme will be airing tonight (February 13) as an extra episode this week.
It could be making up for the episode that was removed from the ITV schedule on February 2 which was replaced by the first Six Nations game between France and Ireland.
Coronation Street will air from 8pm until 9pm on ITV1 this evening.
When is Coronation Street on TV this week?
- Monday, February 12: 8pm
- Tuesday, February 13: 8pm
- Wednesday, February 14: 8pm
- Friday, February 16: 8pm
@itvcorrie confirmed the news on X, formerly Twitter, and some viewers revealed they aren't too happy with the recent schedule changes.
Happy Monday, everyone!

Others don’t agree with the hour-long episodes and are calling for the soap to revert to half-hour slots instead.
This tweet reads: “please go back half a hour episodes I hate hour long episodes u don't see eastenders Neighbours holyoaks home and away Emmerdale hour long.”
“#Corrie @itvcorrie @ITV please go back to half hour episodes pair it with #emmerdale weeknights, hour long ok but just for big storyline episodes, also if any displacement due to sport easier reschedule half hour not hour long eps,” agreed another.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
