The FIFA World Cup is here but once again it presents issues for fans of soaps - particularly Yorkshire favourite Emmerdale.
As we’ve previously reported, ITV’s shared coverage of the men’s World Cup means fans of Emmerdale and rival Coronation Street will experience disruption to their enjoyment of the soaps. As fans know, Emmerdale usually airs weekdays for 30 minutes from 7.30pm, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays, while Coronation Street usually airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV at 8pm each week.
However, on Monday, November 21, neither soap will air as ITV will instead be broadcasting the USA vs Wales game - with coverage beginning at 6.05pm. On Tuesday, November 22, there will be an hour-long episode of Emmerdale from 7pm.
