The Emmerdale schedule is all over the place again this week as football causes disruption, but we’ve got you covered – here’s all the information you need about the changes to tonight’s episode (Friday June 26)
ITV has been making regular changes to its soap line-up thanks to sport and special programming, and June is proving no different. If you’re wondering when Emmerdale is back on screen and whether you’ll be able to watch it on ITVX, here’s everything you need to know.

Is Emmerdale on tonight and can you watch it on ITVX?
Emmerdale fans hoping to catch up with the latest drama tonight are set to be disappointed. The ITV soap has been pulled from the schedules altogether.
There won’t be a trip to the Dales on Friday, June 26, with Coronation Street also missing from the line-up. And because there are no episodes airing, there are no early releases on ITVX or YouTube either, leaving viewers waiting even longer for their next fix.
Last night’s extended hour-long episode made up for tonight’s absence, but ongoing disruption caused by the World Cup continues to leave soap fans guessing when their favourite shows will actually be on.
The fixture chaos isn’t over yet either, with next week’s schedule still yet to be confirmed.
Once the FIFA tournament reaches the knockout stages, ITV and BBC will continue sharing the matches between them. That means the soap schedules cannot be finalised until the football fixtures are confirmed.
At the moment, it is thought Emmerdale will air on Monday, Tuesday for an hour and Wednesday, although ITV is expected to confirm the schedule over the weekend.
Some viewers have suggested that if ITV moved the power hour to an earlier slot, it could make it easier for the soaps to stay on air even when football coverage is taking place.
