What’s on ITV1 today — the daytime schedule

Teleshopping fills the small hours until 3am, then the reality format The Summit brings a dramatic twist, with one member of the group forced into a heartbreaking call by the Mountain’s Keeper. The calming Unwind with ITV takes over at 3:50am, and a Deal or No Deal: Celebrity Special at 5:05am has Stephen Mulhern hosting brothers Adam and Ryan Thomas against the Banker, ahead of breakfast programming.

Good Morning Britain runs from 6am, then This Morning fills the late-morning slot from 10am through to the lunchtime and regional news. Dickinson’s Real Deal returns at 2pm from Oldham, where Cheryl Hackney falls for a striking brooch and a football memento fetches a strong price at auction. Deal or No Deal follows at 3pm with Stephen Mulhern, as Brian, the show’s longest-serving wing player, finally gets a shot against the Banker. Tipping Point takes the 4pm slot with Ben Shephard, then The Chase rounds off the afternoon at 5pm, with Bradley Walsh’s team of four strangers, Sacub, Vicky, Sophy and Paul, up against one of the Chasers ahead of the evening news.

ITV1 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV1 primetime line-up for tonight, Friday 14 August 2026.

ITV News London — ITV1, 6pm

The regional bulletin brings London and South East news and weather, setting up the national headlines half an hour later.

ITV Evening News — ITV1, 6:30pm

ITV’s national bulletin runs from 6:30pm with the day’s UK and international stories, the last news before the entertainment schedule takes over.

Abbey Clancy: Celebrity Homes — ITV1, 7:30pm

Abbey Clancy opens a new episode at 7:30pm with two very different properties. She calls on Love Islander turned fashion blogger Olivia Bowen’s home in Essex, then heads to the private quarters kept by Emma Thynn, the Marchioness of Bath.

Emmerdale — ITV1, 8pm

Ruby hits a wall with her latest plan, Lewis drops news on Kev that changes the shape of his evening, and Bear pushes a reluctant Dylan towards finally speaking to a counsellor.

Coronation Street — ITV1, 8:30pm

Lucy’s return stirs up trouble on the cobbles, Sarah picks up an unlikely ally behind bars, and Idris pitches in over the lunchtime rush hoping the goodwill will persuade Alya to part with her share of the café.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Celebrity Special — ITV1, 9pm

Jeremy Clarkson hosts as broadcaster Steph McGovern and former footballer Dion Dublin take their shot at the million-pound question, with Clarkson’s dry asides doing much of the work from the host’s chair.

The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox — ITV1, 10pm

Four years on, Amanda and Raffaele walk free in this new episode. Home barely feels like home to Amanda, who comes back to a public still largely convinced of her guilt despite the acquittal.

ITV News — ITV1, 11pm

The late bulletin wraps the day’s national and international headlines before a short local update.

ITV News London — ITV1, 11:35pm

A brief regional update covers London and the South East ahead of tonight’s late factual programming.

Inside The Langham: Britain’s First Grand Hotel — ITV1, 11:50pm

Michel Roux sets the kitchen team at The Langham the task of turning out Michelin-standard plates, while the hotel’s managing director flies out to Venice to look over a new luxury property in the group’s pipeline.

Popular shows on ITV1

Soaps

Coronation Street is the world’s longest-running soap opera, first broadcast in December 1960 and set in fictional Weatherfield in Greater Manchester. Sixty-five years on it’s still one of ITV’s most-watched programmes. The 2026 move to nightly half-hour episodes cut the wandering subplots and the show is better for it. Emmerdale, set in a Yorkshire Dales village, has run since 1972 and leans on long slow-burn storylines, with the odd plane crash or storm when the ratings need a jolt.

Quizzes and game shows

The Chase is the strongest quiz ITV1 has. Bradley Walsh hosts it, and the six Chasers each have their own following: Anne Hegerty, Paul Sinha, Mark Labbett, Shaun Wallace, Jenny Ryan and Darragh Ennis. Mine’s Hegerty, for the record. The format has also spawned foreign versions and a celebrity edition.

Tipping Point, ITV1’s other daily quiz, is the simpler of the pair: get a question right, drop a counter into the machine, hope it shoves some money off the shelf. Ben Shephard fronts it.

Entertainment

Britain’s Got Talent returns each spring for its auditions, with Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli on the panel. The live shows pull some of the biggest Saturday-night audiences on linear TV.

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has aired every autumn since 2002. The premise is thin: recognisable faces stuck in a remote camp with nothing to do but bicker and eat insects. It still pulls millions, which says something, though I’m not sure what.

How to watch ITV1 live and on demand

Channel numbers

ITV1 is free-to-air on all of these. The regional version you get is set by the postcode on your account or box setup.

ITVX

ITV1 streams live and free on ITVX at itv.com/watch, and through the ITVX app on smart TVs, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, the Sky boxes, Virgin Media TV360 and most streaming sticks. You need a free ITVX account, just an email and password, no card details.

Most programmes stay on demand for 30 days after broadcast. Emmerdale and Coronation Street go up at 7am on broadcast day, hours before they air on TV.

To watch the live stream you need a TV Licence, the same as watching any live channel online in the UK. On-demand catch-up doesn’t. ITVX is funded by advertising like the channel itself; an optional ITVX Premium subscription strips the ads from on-demand viewing.

ITV1 regions, STV and UTV

ITV1 isn’t one channel but a network of regional licence holders sharing the national schedule and producing their own local news. The bulletins around the ITV Evening News come from whichever licence holder covers your area: ITV London, Granada, ITV Central, Meridian, Yorkshire, Anglia, Border, Tyne Tees, Wales and West Country.

Scotland is the exception. In the centre and north, STV (Scottish Television) holds the channel-3 licence as an independent broadcaster. It runs most of the ITV1 schedule, including Coronation Street, Emmerdale, The Chase and Britain’s Got Talent. But it makes its own news and some of its own drama and factual output, and runs a separate streaming service, STV Player. STV isn’t owned by ITV.

In Northern Ireland the channel-3 licence belongs to UTV (Ulster Television), which carries the network schedule alongside its own local news. UTV is owned by ITV plc. Both STV and UTV sit on channel 3 on Freeview in their regions.

Frequently asked questions

What time are Emmerdale and Coronation Street on ITV1?

Both soaps keep to their weeknight run, Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street straight after at 8:30pm, Monday to Friday, landing on ITVX from 7am the same morning. Weekend episodes happen occasionally.

What’s on ITV1 tonight?

The soaps are back in their usual spots: Emmerdale at 8pm, Coronation Street at 8:30pm. A new Abbey Clancy: Celebrity Homes opens the evening at 7:30pm, and after the soaps Jeremy Clarkson hosts a celebrity edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? at 9pm. The night closes with a new episode of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox at 10pm. Full listings are in the schedule table above.

Is ITV1 the same as STV in Scotland?

No. Across most of Scotland the channel-3 slot is STV, and in Northern Ireland it is UTV.

Verdict

Friday 14 August is back to the standard shape for ITV1: Emmerdale and Coronation Street both in their usual slots, either side of a fresh premiere. A new Abbey Clancy: Celebrity Homes opens the evening at 7:30pm, and once the soaps are done, Jeremy Clarkson hosts a celebrity Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? at 9pm, with Steph McGovern and Dion Dublin chasing the million.

A new episode of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox closes the scripted evening at 10pm, before the news and a late visit to The Langham hotel at 11:50pm.
