Epic Games announced Fortnite Party Royale will play host to ESPN 8: The Ocho, airing a marathon of some of the most bizarre sports in existence beginning on August 8 at 9am Eastern Time. Fortnite Party Royale is described as an “experimental” mode of the popular title that sees players eschew combat in favor of hanging out with friends and engaging in different social activities, whether that be live concerts hosted in a specific space or watching movie marathons. The feature has been extremely popular and widely-praised, especially given the fact so many players are craving social interaction this summer.

For those unfamiliar with ESPN 8: The Ocho, it’s the sports network’s temporary channel for the wildest sports in existence, and it is a totally legitimate offspring of ESPN’s more official endeavors. ESPN 8: The Ocho comes into existence as a 24-hour marathon each year, highlighting obscure sports like Cornhole and Spikeball, and helps showcase how even the most bizarre physical activities can be competitive given the right circumstances. ESPN 8 isn’t actually a channel, however, and it’s just a temporary rebrand of ESPN 2 for a day-long period.

This year, ESPN 8: The Ocho will be hosted in Fortnite Party Royale, according to an official tweet from Fortnite’s Twitter. The marathon will begin at 9am Eastern Time and will presumably air in Fortnite Party Royale for the entirety of the marathon. While an exact list of content wasn’t provided, the Twitter account alluded to a few fan-favorites, and players will have a chance to find out for themselves when the marathon begins in just a few short days.

With Fortnite Party Royale already a positively-received element of the Epic Games online social system, it makes sense for the company to attempt expanding its offerings to less traditional events too. While concerts and movie marathons have proven popular, the partnership with ESPN 8: The Ocho’s unique brand of sports will truly test just how much of a draw Fortnite Party Royale can be to players who don’t have a direct interest in whatever’s being shown at the time.

If nothing else, Fortnite Party Royale really is the perfect home for something as off-the-wall and entertaining as The Ocho. ESPN 8 is quirky but earnest in how it wants its viewers to enjoy themselves with the content of the marathon, and Fortnite adopts a similar approach to its constant stream of updates that put player wants as a priority. It’s a match made in heaven, and Fortnite will hopefully soon play host to Stupid Robot Fighting League and more.
