Inspired by the Vince Vaughan and Ben Stiller comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, ESPN 8: The Ocho started in 2017 as a place to showcase obscure sports. Since then, The Ocho has taken over ESPNU, ESPN2 and now the flagship ESPN.
Fortnite’s free Party Royale is a free online space where Fortnite players leave their weapons in the Battle Royale and come to hang out with friends, watch movies, concerts, and more. To watch The Ocho on August 8, players can jump in anytime before the show ends at 1:45 PM ET. It will also be rebroadcast from 4 PM to 8:45 PM ET.
