Emmerdale viewers will get to see their soap episodes on all of the same days, but will have to tune in half an hour earlier on Friday when it will air at 7pm instead, with the FA Cup coverage beginning at 7.30pm.

This isn't the first time that soap viewers have been shifted around to make way for football fans - the soaps were subject to changing schedules during the World Cup and Euros over the last two years.

Soaps were also moved around in September after the Queen's death and during the national period of mourning.
