Emmerdale is the main show affected by the cup, and will now air at 7pm instead of the usual 7:30pm.
Instead of Emmerdale's usual slot, football fans can see Arsenal take on Crystal Palace in the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup.
Coverage will take place from 7:30pm, ending at 10:25pm. The winner will progress to the semi-final where they'll face Chelsea.
