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, Monday 31 August 2026, the evening builds through The Chase Celebrity Special at 6:30pm, with Jayde Adams, Tony Cottee, Naughty Boy and The Vivienne taking on the Chasers, before Millionaire Hot Seat brings Jeremy Clarkson and a fresh line-up of contestants to 7:30pm. Emmerdale and Coronation Street hold their usual weeknight slots at 8pm and 8:30pm, and Trigger Point carries on into its fourth run at 9pm, the night after it opened, with Lana Washington’s team tracing the previous night’s bombers to a boat yard.

What’s on ITV1 today — the daytime schedule

Monday’s ITV1 daytime runs its familiar weekday shape. Good Morning Britain opens at 6am and holds the sofa for four hours, then This Morning takes over from 10am.

After the ITV Lunchtime News at 1:45pm and the regional ITV News London bulletin at 1:50pm, Dickinson’s Real Deal fills 2pm (series 16, episode 18), Lingo follows at 3pm, and Deal or No Deal takes 4pm (series 2, episode 43). Tipping Point closes out the afternoon at 5pm (series 13, episode 69), ahead of the early-evening news that leads into primetime.

ITV1 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV1 primetime line-up for tonight, Monday 31 August 2026.

The evening opens on the news, with ITV News London at 6pm and ITV Evening News at 6:10pm covering the day’s stories, before The Chase Celebrity Special takes the 6:30pm quiz slot: Jayde Adams, Tony Cottee, Naughty Boy and The Vivienne face down the Chasers.

Millionaire Hot Seat follows at 7:30pm, with Jeremy Clarkson putting a fresh line-up of six contestants through the quiz. It’s a new episode of the run that’s been on air since January, not a new series.

Emmerdale takes its regular 8pm slot — Serena is taken aback as DS Ramsden lays out her plan, and Gabby struggles to cope — and Coronation Street follows straight after at 8:30pm, with Todd rocked by news of Celeste’s death and Kirk managing to embarrass both Brian and Maggie.

Trigger Point holds the 9pm hour with the second episode of its current run, not the series opener some listings still have it down as. Lana Washington’s team trace the previous night’s attack to a boat yard as they close in on the bombers.

ITV News at Ten rounds off the bulletins at 10pm, and the night closes with the 2006 film Superman Returns, starring Brandon Routh, from 10:20pm.

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. Tonight, Monday 31 August 2026, both are in their regular slots.

What’s on ITV1 tonight?

Monday’s ITV1 evening runs The Chase Celebrity Special at 6:30pm and Millionaire Hot Seat at 7:30pm, then Emmerdale at 8pm and Coronation Street at 8:30pm in their usual weeknight home. Trigger Point holds the 9pm hour with the second episode of its current run. 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

Monday 31 August is a standard ITV1 weeknight, and none the worse for it. The Chase Celebrity Special and Millionaire Hot Seat carry the early evening, Emmerdale and Coronation Street hold their regular 8pm and 8:30pm slots, and Trigger Point closes out primetime with the second episode of its current run — Lana Washington’s team tracking the previous night’s bombers to a boat yard, rather than a fresh series opener.

Daytime keeps to the familiar weekday shape: Good Morning Britain, This Morning, Dickinson’s Real Deal, Lingo, Deal or No Deal and Tipping Point, the same run that sits behind ITV1 five days a week.
