Soap fans will be gutted tonight as Coronation Street, Emmerdale and EastEnders are being taken off air.
The FA Cup football matches have been dominating TV this week and tonight will be no different. ITV and BBC will both be shunning the soaps to make time for footie coverage instead.
On ITV Manchester United will be going up again West Ham for a fifth round match kicking off at 7pm. Meanwhile on the BBC, Sheffield United will be playing against Tottenham Hotspur at 7.30pm.

As a result all soaps are cancelled this evening. But while fans can't watch their soaps at the normal times, they will be treated to hour long specials instead.
There was an extra helping of EastEnders on Monday and will be another one to come on Friday. Emmerdale will also air an hour-long episode on Friday.
Coronation Street viewers will also be able to enjoy their Wednesday episode on Thursday instead at 8pm.
