ITV1 TV Guide: Listings, Schedule & What’s On ITV1 Tonight

Published: 29 August 2026

ITV1 is the UK’s biggest commercial channel: Freeview 3, channel 103 on Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat, free on ITVX if you can stomach the ad breaks. Tonight, Sunday 30 August 2026, Jurassic World (2015) runs into the early evening until 6:35pm, and then it’s the fullest night ITV1 has had all week: Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 8:30pm, a rare Sunday outing for both soaps outside their usual weeknight run, followed by the series 4 opener of Trigger Point at 9pm. Vicky McClure’s bomb-disposal drama returns with Lana Washington’s team following a suspicious lorry across London, and ITV1 repeats the same episode at 11:10pm. Channel numbers are further down the page.

What’s on ITV1 today — the daytime schedule

Sunday’s ITV1 daytime looks nothing like a weekday and nothing like Saturday either. There’s still no Good Morning Britain, no Lorraine, no This Morning and no Loose Women — all weekday fixtures — but Saturday’s football and its Bond double bill are gone as well. The day opens with The Voice UK at 6am (series 14, episode 2), then James Martin’s Saturday Morning takes over at 7am for two and a half hours (series 9, episode 24). The title is the show’s own long-running branding rather than a leftover Saturday listing; it airs weekly regardless of the day.

Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh runs from 9:30am for close to two hours, and a new episode of The Joy of Pets follows at 11:25am (series 1, episode 2). After the 12:30pm ITV News comes Gary Barlow’s Food and Wine Tour: New Zealand, a new half-hour episode taking Barlow to Auckland and Waiheke.

ITV Racing: Live from Goodwood is the afternoon’s one genuine live broadcast, two hours and forty-five minutes from 1:15pm. Celebrity Lingo fills the half-hour at 4pm before Jurassic World (2015, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard) takes the 4:30pm slot and runs on past 6pm, finishing at 6:35pm — later than the news bulletins that usually mark the end of the daytime schedule on this page.

ITV1 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV1 primetime line-up for tonight, Sunday 30 August 2026 — the fullest evening ITV1 has offered all week: a film running past 6pm, two soaps out of their usual slot and a drama series launch, all before ten o’clock.

Jurassic World — ITV1, 4:30pm

Jurassic World (2015, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard) holds the last hour of the afternoon and runs on past 6pm, finishing at 6:35pm. It’s why the evening bulletins land later than usual: ITV Evening News at 6:35pm and ITV News London at 6:45pm are the standard half-hour of local and national headlines before primetime proper begins.

Force of Nature — ITV1, 7pm

Force of Nature, narrated by Andrew Lincoln, opens primetime with a new episode (series 1, episode 6) following people working to protect animals through extreme weather.

Emmerdale — ITV1, 8pm

Emmerdale takes its regular 8pm spot, but on a Sunday rather than its usual weeknight home. DS Ramsden’s suspicions escalate, Gabby is left struggling under the weight of what’s piling up, and Caleb and Ruby both find themselves unsettled by events in the village.

Coronation Street — ITV1, 8:30pm

Coronation Street follows straight after at 8:30pm. Todd breaks difficult news to Gemma about her aunt’s terminal illness, a departing character’s final words expose a secret the family didn’t see coming, and Nina says her goodbyes.

Trigger Point — ITV1, 9pm

Trigger Point returns for a fourth series at 9pm — the biggest single booking on ITV1 tonight. Vicky McClure’s Lana Washington leads the explosives squad again, this time on the tail of a lorry that shouldn’t be on London’s streets, across the first of six new episodes. ITV News takes the usual quarter-hour at 10pm, Unbelievable Moments: Caught on Camera fills 10:15pm, and tonight’s Trigger Point repeats at 11:10pm for anyone who missed the 9pm showing.

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 normally keep to a weeknight run, Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street straight after at 8:30pm, Monday to Friday, landing on ITVX from 7am the same morning. Tonight, Sunday 30 August 2026, is one of the occasional weekend exceptions — both air in their usual slots, Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 8:30pm.

What’s on ITV1 tonight?

Sunday’s ITV1 evening opens with Jurassic World running to 6:35pm, then Force of Nature at 7pm, Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 8:30pm — an unusual Sunday outing for both soaps. Trigger Point returns for a new series at 9pm and repeats at 11:10pm. 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

Sunday 30 August is the fullest ITV1 page of the week. Jurassic World carries the schedule into early evening, Force of Nature opens primetime with a new episode, and then Emmerdale and Coronation Street both land in an unusual Sunday slot rather than their normal weeknight home. Trigger Point closes out the night with real weight behind it: a fourth-series opener for Vicky McClure’s bomb-disposal drama, repeated at 11:10pm for anyone who misses the first showing.

Daytime runs The Voice UK, James Martin’s Saturday Morning — the name is the strand’s own long-standing branding, not a leftover Saturday listing — Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh and live racing from Goodwood. None of it has much in common with the weekday run of Good Morning Britain, This Morning and Tipping Point, or with Saturday’s football and film pairing the day before.
