“ESPN: The Ocho” is back for a third straight year. On Wednesday, August 7 — yes, the 7th — “The Ocho” returns with a full day of obscure sports coverage. “ESPN: The Ocho” takes the place of ESPN 2 for the day with wild events like the Acrobatic Pizza Trials, Cherry Pit Spitting, Stupid Robot Fighting League, and Sign Spinning Championships.
The programming stars with an airing of Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story — which was the inspiration for The Ocho — and also ends with the film.
According to ESPN, this year will also feature the very first live event in the history of “The Ocho.”
“This year’s line-up will include The Ocho’s first live event with 2019: WCO World Cornhole Championship at 8 p.m. Taking place in Valley Forge, Penn., the event follows a doubles format with a US and International bracket,” the press release reads. “The one-hour program will feature the finals of each bracket and then the World Champion is crowned based on the winner of the USA/International face off.”
