Emmerdale UK in NZ: TVNZ 1 on Weekdays, TVNZ 2 Overnight and TVNZ+ Mornings
Emmerdale is on TVNZ 1 at 1pm on weekdays and streams on TVNZ+ from 8am, Monday to Friday, which is how TVNZ's own page puts it: “Available Mon-Fri at 8am, or 1pm on TVNZ 1”. TVNZ 2 also has a half-hour in the early hours on six of the eight days in the guide. How far New Zealand sits behind ITV is not yet confirmed.
What time is Emmerdale on TVNZ 1?
1pm to 1.30pm, Monday to Friday. In the Freeview guide we read on Friday 16 October, around 12.45pm, every weekday from Friday 16 to Friday 23 October has Emmerdale in that slot on TVNZ 1, and TVNZ 1 +1 shows it an hour later at 2pm. The guide also lists a TVNZ 2 showing in the early hours on six of the eight days, and the table has every one of them.

| Friday 23 October | 1.00pm to 1.30pm | 2.00pm to 2.30pm | 2.15am to 2.40am |
The TVNZ 2 times are the small hours of that date, so the entry for Saturday 17 October is 1.10am on Saturday morning, not Saturday night.
What channel is Emmerdale on in NZ?
TVNZ 1 for the main weekday screening, which is free-to-air. TVNZ 1 +1 and the early-hours TVNZ 2 half-hour are the other two places in the guide, and TVNZ+ is the streaming home. Our Freeview versus Sky guide explains why none of those needs a subscription.
Where can I stream Emmerdale in New Zealand?
On TVNZ+, free with an account. The show's page there says episodes are available Monday to Friday at 8am, five hours before the TVNZ 1 screening, and it lists one season folder. Our streaming prices page sets TVNZ+ against ThreeNow and the paid services.
What is on TVNZ 1 after Emmerdale?
Coronation Street at 1.30pm on each of those weekdays, then Fletchers' Family Farm from 2pm to 3pm. The guide describes the second as Kelvin Fletcher, who has spent most of his career as a fictional farmer in Emmerdale, and his family now living that life for real. Our Coronation Street page has that show's night slots.
How far behind the UK is Emmerdale in NZ?
Not yet confirmed. TVNZ's page gives no gap, and the guide carries one general blurb for every screening with no episode number, so there's nothing to line up against ITV's dates. We keep UK storylines off this page, since British viewers are ahead of New Zealand.
Is Emmerdale on at the weekend in NZ?
Not on TVNZ 1 in the guide for Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October. TVNZ 2 has a half-hour at 1.10am on Saturday 17 October and nothing is listed for Sunday 18 October. TVNZ's streaming note only mentions Monday to Friday.
