Emmerdale will face some scheduling changes over the coming weeks to make way for the World Cup 2022.

The major sporting event has now kicked off in Qatar and Emmerdale will have regular schedule changes that soap fans will need to look out for if they want to catch the latest episodes.

Earlier in the year, Emmerdale episodes were released every Monday as a boxset on ITV.com to accommodate the Euro 2020 tournament. And the good news is box sets are back! Each week during the World Cup the entire week's episodes will land on ITVX on Monday morning for you to binge at your leisure. 

The next set of schedule changes have been revealed, so if you want to know when Emmerdale will be on during the football season, you can read below...
