Emmerdale is postponed tonight for England vs. Latvia World Cup coverage; Cain Dingle returns amid ongoing cliffhangers.

Emmerdale is not airing on ITV1 tonight, October 14, 2025, due to live coverage of the England vs. Latvia UEFA World Cup qualifier, starting at 7pm. The soap will resume on Wednesday, October 15, at 7.30pm. This follows last week’s scheduling change when the show was also moved due to football coverage. ITV has announced a major schedule overhaul set for next year, introducing a "soaps power hour" with nightly 30-minute episodes of both Emmerdale and Coronation Street. The upcoming episode features Cain Dingle’s return from France, emotionally changed after searching for John Sugden, who is believed to have killed Cain’s son Nate. John’s fate remains uncertain after a cliffhanger fall, and Robert Sugden faces new challenges as his secret relationship with Kev is revealed.
