The beloved soaps often see their time slots shuffled around during major sporting events, such as the recent Euros 2024 and Women's Euros qualifiers.
However, despite the Olympics being broadcast on BBC , ITV has taken the proactive step of releasing episodes on their streaming service, ITVX at 7am on the day they're due to air, while also keeping the traditional evening broadcast.
The official social media accounts for the soaps excitedly shared the news on their Twitter account at the start of the week. They wrote: "We're giving you a little treat this summer whilst the Olympics are on.
"On each day of transmission, you can find Corrie and Emmerdale episodes on ITVX at 7am! But remember to keep this a spoiler free zone for those watching in the evenings # Corrie # Emmerdale ."
Soap fans were quick to voice their approval, with some even calling for this change to become a permanent fixture.
Another chimed in: "Why can't you all just upload episodes early on ITVX permanently like EastEnders ."
