No. Coronation Street and Emmerdale were pulled from ITV’s Friday night schedule on 5 June, so neither soap was on air that evening. In their place, ITV showed live coverage of the Women's World Cup Qualifier between 7.30pm and 10.20pm, with Spain v England kicking off at 8pm at Estadi Municipal de Son Moix.
For viewers searching is coronation street on tonight, the answer was tied to a one-night schedule shift, not a change to the soaps themselves. The match coverage was hosted by Seema Jaswal, with Karen Carney and Anita Asante offering analysis, making Friday’s line-up a sports broadcast rather than the usual soap pairing.
That matters because ITV had only recently sold its new soap format as a way to give viewers more consistency. In January, it moved Coronation Street and Emmerdale to a reduced five-episode week and a 30-minute weekday structure, with Kevin Lygo saying the schedule was meant to help fans keep up and that shorter episodes better matched the pace and pay-off viewers wanted. Even so, the soaps were still the first thing moved when live sport needed the airtime.
The gap for regular viewers was short but clear. Episodes that would have aired on Friday 5 June were taken off air, and the next scheduled soap outing was Sunday 7 June between 8pm and 9pm. After that, both soaps were due off again on Tuesday 9 June for the Women's European Qualifier between England and Ukraine, before Emmerdale returned at 7pm and Coronation Street at 7.30pm on Wednesday 10 June. There were no soaps at all on Thursday 11 June because of the opening ceremony, and the previous hour-long format was due to return on Friday 12 June, with Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 9pm.
So if the question is whether Coronation Street is on tonight, the answer on Friday 5 June was no. ITV had replaced it with football coverage, and the soaps were not back until Sunday night, with more schedule changes still set to follow before the week was out.
