Coronation Street, Emmerdale and EastEnders will all face scheduling changes later this month as the soaps make way for live football coverage.
New schedules have revealed how all three soaps will be impacted in the early weeks of Euro 2024.
The adjustments begin next week, as Coronation Street and Emmerdale are both absent from the ITV1 schedules on Friday, June 14.
ITV1 will be airing the opening match of Euro 2024 that evening, as Scotland take on host nation Germany in Munich.

Corrie and Emmerdale are also missing from the schedules on Monday, June 17 to make way for the Austria vs France match.
Emmerdale airs an hour-long episode from 7pm on Tuesday, June 18 to make up for some of the disruption, with Corrie following straight afterwards for an hour from 8pm. This is a rare Tuesday evening outing for the Weatherfield soap.
Both soaps air as normal on Wednesday, June 19, but there’s no hour-long visit to Emmerdale on Thursday, June 20 due to the Spain vs Italy game.
Corrie and Emmerdale then air in their usual slots on Friday, June 21.

Meanwhile, EastEnders will be shifting to BBC Two for certain episodes through the tournament. This has been a common occurrence for the Walford soap in recent years due to various summer sporting events on BBC One.
EastEnders’ episodes on Tuesday, June 18, Wednesday, June 19 and Thursday, June 20 have been scheduled in on BBC Two rather than BBC One, in the usual slot of 7.30pm.
Fans of the Albert Square drama are likely to be less affected by the changes, with many viewers now accustomed to watching at their leisure on BBC iPlayer where episodes drop early at 6am.
