Once again, the Worldwide Leader in Sports will be turning ESPN2 into ESPN8: The Ocho for a 24-hour period. This year, the annual event will take place on Friday, August 6.
But before the ESPN takeover comes and we are introduced to a new world of bizarro sports, there will be preview days on Wednesday and Thursday to get us warmed up for what is to come.
In addition to pre-recorded programming, there will be live coverage from select events throughout the day.
“As part of this edition, The Ocho will be live from the 2021 American Cornhole League (ACL) World Championships in Rock Hill, S.C at 9 p.m. ET,” the press release read. “ESPN’s Ryan McGee and Marty Smith will participate in the ACL Celebrity Throwdown alongside football legends and ACL Pros.”
What will be airing and when can you tune in?
A full look at the 2021 schedule for ESPN: The Ocho can be seen below.
