Corrie and Emmerdale to air on ITV Hub early during the Euros
Fans will be able to binge watch the weekly episodes
With the Euro 2020 Championships finally kicking off on Friday 11th June, following last year's postponement due to the Coronavirus pandemic, ITV bosses have now revealed a change in the upcoming schedule.
As a number of games will air on ITV between 11th June-11th July, ITV have some good news for soap fans, revealing both Emmerdale and Coronation Street will be available to binge watch on the ITV Hub, BEFORE they air on the TV.
For the first time ever, soap fans will be able to watch all of the week's action in one go at the start of the week, starting from Monday 14th June for four weeks.
Corrie bosses released the following statement: ''To complement Coronation Street’s transmission on ITV throughout the Euros, and in an exciting move for four weeks starting from June 14th, all episodes for each coming week will be made available on the ITV Hub on every Monday, allowing viewers the chance to binge watch their favourite soap or choose to watch at their leisure.
"This will be alongside showing the episodes on the main ITV channel each week, giving viewers a wider choice of how, where and when they’d like to view."
Emmerdale bosses also added: "Throughout the Euros football tournament, Emmerdale viewers will be in for an extra treat, as whilst the drama continues to air on ITV, they can binge watch episodes weekly on the ITV Hub. For four weeks during the tournament from Monday 14 June, the episodes airing that week will be available each Monday via the ITV Hub to enable viewers to have the choice of watching as a box set ahead of the ITV transmission."
