Fans of cornhole, darts, billiards and, of course, dodgeball can now watch coverage of all these sports any time of day as ESPN8: The Ocho has been made into an official channel. And best of all, it's entirely free.
ESPN8: The Ocho started out as a joke in the 2004 comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, an offshoot channel of ESPN where obscure sports air. Well, Dodgeball became a comedy classic and ESPN looked to capitalize on the idea, usually arranging a special day of programming for more obscure sports coverage each year that they dubbed ESPN8: The Ocho. But now, they are expanding that to a new 24/7, FAST (free advertising-supported television) channel that requires no sign-in to start watching, making it the first-ever ESPN FAST channel to go with its cable channels and ESPN Plus streaming service.
