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

Published: 12 September 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. Sunday 13 September 2026 is soap-free again, and the night’s biggest story is happening on a different channel: Big Brother’s live launch is on ITV2, while ITV1 runs its own entertainment strip — The Chase at 6pm, The 1% Club at 7pm, The Box at 8pm and Trigger Point at 9pm — before ITV News at 10pm and a nightly Big Brother highlights package closing the night from 10:45pm. Channel numbers are further down the page.

ITV1 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the ITV1 primetime line-up for tonight, Sunday 13 September 2026.

The Chase — ITV1, 6pm

Bradley Walsh puts another set of contestants up against the Chasers, series 17 rolling on with its sixteenth outing.

The 1% Club — ITV1, 7pm

Lee Mack’s logic-over-knowledge quiz reaches episode four of series three.

The Box — ITV1, 8pm

Gary Lineker hosts this celebrity competition format, now four episodes into its run — a returning weekly fixture rather than a new arrival, whatever the schedule’s “new” flag suggests.

Trigger Point — ITV1, 9pm

Vicky McClure’s counter-terrorism drama is back for the fifth episode of series four, with the fallout from Lana’s last operation still working through the team.

ITV News — ITV1, 10pm

The ten o’clock bulletin and weather.

It’ll Be Alright on the Night — ITV1, 10:20pm

Another compilation of out-takes and on-set mishaps from the past year of British telly.

Big Brother — ITV1, 10:45pm

The nightly highlights package, recapping the live launch that airs in full over on ITV2 at 9pm rather than here.

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, Sunday 13 September, there’s no episode of either; The Chase and The 1% Club occupy the equivalent hours instead.

What’s on ITV1 tonight?

Sunday’s line-up is soap-free too, and the night’s real headline is on ITV2. The Chase holds 6pm, then The 1% Club and The Box run at 7pm and 8pm, followed by Trigger Point at 9pm. ITV News comes at 10pm, and the night closes with a Big Brother highlights package from 10:45pm, recapping the live launch shown in full over on ITV2. 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

There’s no soap tonight either, and the channel to have on for Big Brother’s actual launch is ITV2, not this one. ITV1’s own evening runs The Chase into The 1% Club, The Box and Trigger Point, then a highlights recap of the launch rather than the thing itself.

Daytime is a Sunday run of lifestyle programming and racing coverage, with ITV Racing: Live from Doncaster carrying the early afternoon.
