Schedule changes coming up for the soap ‘power hour’ in 2026

ITV has announced new Emmerdale schedule for 2026 – with the introduction of what is being called a soap ‘power hour’ starting from next January.

Emmerdale will continue to air five nights a week. New episodes will also drop on ITVX every morning at 7am as usual – meaning we don’t have to wait all day if we don’t want to!

However, the soap will move to a new time slot of 8pm. The Thursday double bill will also be cut to half an hour to make way for additional episodes of Coronation Street.

This ensures faster-paced, digestible episodes – a 30-minute format which has already proven popular with viewers.
