ITV has implemented schedule changes for its soap operas, Emmerdale and Coronation Street, to accommodate live coverage of the EFL Carabao Cup.

In late August, the soaps were displaced by a match between Nottingham Forest and Leeds United. To compensate for the disruption, missed episodes were scheduled to air on Sunday, August 30.

In mid-September, a similar disruption occurred due to a third-round match between Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion. Regular programming for the soaps was set to resume the following day.
