We've got some bad news for soap fans, as EastEnders, Emmerdale AND Coronation Street will not air on TV tonight (Wednesday 1st March), due to the football!

That's right, instead of EastEnders, the BBC will show the fifth round FA Cup tie between Sheffield United and Tottenham Hotspur, whilst ITV are showing the game between Manchester United and West Ham United, instead of Emmerdale and Coronation Street.

When is EastEnders on this week?

Both Tuesday (28th February) and Wednesday (1st March) episodes of EastEnders have been postponed due to the football.

To make up for the missed episodes, EastEnders will be on for one hour on Friday night (3rd March).

When is Emmerdale on this week?

Emmerdale is back on our screens as normal on Thursday (2nd March) night at 7pm.

Friday 3rd March's scheduled episode of Emmerdale will now be on for one hour, instead of the usual 30 minutes.

When is Coronation Street on this week?

Following Wednesday's postponement, Coronation Street will move to Thursday (2nd March) night this week, with the episode airing at 8pm.
