The Inside Soap Awards 2026 are held in Manchester, with winners announced for the year’s UK soap TV shows. The ceremony brings together major programmes including Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.
Multiple outlets report that Coronation Street performs strongly at the event, taking several awards. The Manchester Evening News highlights that the show dominates the results, while also noting wins for Emmerdale, another ITV soap. The Mirror similarly describes Coronation Street as sweeping the board and lists it among the top winners alongside other leading soaps being recognised at the ceremony. The coverage also notes the awards are taking place at a new location in Manchester this year.
Across both reports, the shared focus is on the winners being announced at the Manchester ceremony and Coronation Street’s multiple wins, with Emmerdale also receiving recognition.
