ITV replaced Coronation Street and Emmerdale with live rugby on March 6, resuming soap operas March 9 amid fan backlash.
ITV temporarily replaced Coronation Street and Emmerdale on Friday, March 6, with live coverage of the 2026 Men's Six Nations rugby match between Wales and Ireland at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, hosted by Jill Douglas.
The soap operas, part of a new "power hour" format since January, will resume their regular 8pm to 9pm schedule on Monday, March 9.
The change has drawn criticism from fans who expressed frustration on social media, calling the scheduling shift disruptive.
ITV attributes the format to viewer demand for shorter, more flexible content across platforms like ITVX, under director Kevin Lygo.
