What’s on ITV1 today — the daytime schedule

Monday’s daytime is the standard weekday run: Good Morning Britain from 6am, Lorraine at 9:30am and This Morning at 10am. Loose Women takes its usual early-afternoon slot at 12:30pm, followed by the lunchtime news.

Dickinson’s Real Deal, Lingo and Tipping Point carry the mid-afternoon, and The Chase closes out the pre-evening run at 5pm ahead of the news and tonight’s party political broadcast.

ITV1 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Both soaps are back tonight after a weekend without an episode, bracketed by a quiz show and the week’s next Trigger Point.

ITV News London — ITV1, 6pm

Local news ahead of tonight’s political broadcast.

Party Political Broadcast: Reform UK — ITV1, 6:25pm

A five-minute slot for Reform UK, simulcast on BBC One at 6:55pm.

ITV Evening News — ITV1, 6:30pm

The half-hour national round-up, followed by the regional bulletin, before the evening’s entertainment line-up gets going at 7pm.

Millionaire Hot Seat — ITV1, 7:30pm

Six new contestants take their turn in the chair, ahead of the evening’s main event.

Emmerdale — ITV1, 8pm

Back after the weekend gap. Sarah’s world falls apart, Lewis can’t hide his excitement about something, and Caleb is visibly rattled by whatever’s going on with him.

Coronation Street — ITV1, 8:30pm

Kit gets a diagnosis that changes everything: stage three breast cancer, already spread to his lymph nodes, the result of tests prompted by his aunt’s BRCA gene. He turns up at the Rovers anyway, forces a smile through Debbie’s birthday do, and starts drinking like nothing’s wrong.

Trigger Point — ITV1, 9pm

Four episodes into series four, Lana’s team are sent to an airfield as talk of a wider catastrophe puts everyone on edge. The series launched a week before this episode, so tonight is a continuation rather than a fresh start, though the stakes have been climbing steadily since.

ITV News at Ten — ITV1, 10pm

The national bulletin, followed by London news.

ITV News London — ITV1, 10:30pm

Local news ahead of tonight’s film.

Rush Hour 2 — ITV1, 10:45pm

The 2001 action-comedy sequel, with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker back in Hong Kong and Las Vegas, closes out the night.

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. Neither airs at the weekend. Tonight, Monday, both are back after that gap.

What’s on ITV1 tonight?

Monday’s line-up has the soaps back and a political broadcast to fit around. Millionaire Hot Seat holds 7:30pm, Emmerdale and Coronation Street run at 8pm and 8:30pm, and Trigger Point continues its fourth series at 9pm. Rush Hour 2 closes the night after ITV News at Ten. 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

The soaps’ return is the story tonight, and Coronation Street has the stronger hand: Kit’s diagnosis is the kind of storyline the show does well when it commits to the fallout rather than rushing past it. Trigger Point at 9pm keeps building rather than paying off, which is fine four episodes in, but it means Corrie is the one worth clearing your evening for.

Daytime is the standard weekday run of magazine shows and quizzes, with The Chase closing out the pre-evening slot as usual. No live sport displaces anything tonight.
