ESPN announced that ESPN8: The Ocho takes over ESPN2 for 24 hours on Friday, August 5, 2022, becoming the No. 1 destination for “seldom seen sports”. For the 6th year, ESPN brings the fictitious ESPN8: The Ocho, from the hit movie “Dodgeball”, to life for 24 hours only. The latest in the evolution of The Ocho includes 14.5 hours of live events from two venues in Rock Hill, SC – The Rock Hill Sports & Event Center and Manchester Meadows.
Beginning at 12:00 a.m. on Friday, August 5, ESPN2 will transform into ESPN 8: The Ocho, and broadcasting 24 hours of unique sports including cornhole, pickleball, axe-throwing, and, of course, dodgeball.
Tune in to ESPN2 (MIDTEL Channels 851/251/36) for all of the action.
