Why has Corrie been cancelled on April 2, 2025?

ITV have given away Corrie’s usual Friday evening time slot to their sports coverage.

Instead, the UEFA Women’s Nation League will be broadcasted live.

The England team will be playing Belgium at 8pm at Ashton Gate stadium in Bristol.

This is not the first time that Corrie has been booted from its scheduled slot in 2025.
