1982 was Coronation Street's twenty-third year. During the year, a new outdoor set was built for the series, which was in use until December 2013. The opening of the new set coincided with an on-screen storyline in which Len Fairclough rebuilt house No. 7, which had collapsed in 1965.

104 new episodes were broadcast on ITV in 1982.
