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

Published: 14 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. Tuesday 15 September 2026 is reshaped by a live special: The Martin Lewis Money Show Live fills the whole 7-8pm hour, pushing both soaps back half an hour, with Emmerdale at 8pm running into Coronation Street at 8:30pm. 70 Up, the closing instalment of ITV’s long-running documentary strand, takes the 9pm slot instead of a returning drama, and the night winds down through ITV News at Ten into Prescription for Murder: True Crime Presents at 11:15pm. Channel numbers are further down the page.

Emmerdale — ITV1, 8pm

Sadie’s manipulation of Nicola continues, and she’s visibly rattled by the sight of Cain, while Joe digs in over having a private funeral rather than the send-off anyone else wants (series 2026, episode 180).

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, Tuesday 15 September, both are in their usual slots, straight after the live Martin Lewis Money Show Live special that occupies the 7pm hour.

What’s on ITV1 tonight?

Tonight’s line-up is reshaped by a live special. The Martin Lewis Money Show Live fills the 7-8pm hour, then Emmerdale and Coronation Street run at 8pm and 8:30pm, followed by 70 Up at 9pm. ITV News at Ten comes at 10:30pm, and Prescription for Murder: True Crime Presents closes out the night from 11:15pm. 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 live Martin Lewis special takes the whole 7-8pm hour, with both soaps following in their usual slots straight after. 70 Up at 9pm closes out one of ITV’s longest-running documentary projects rather than offering a returning drama.

Daytime runs the standard weekday shape, with Lorraine and This Morning carrying the late morning into Loose Women at half past twelve.
