This Saturday ESPN is Playing Air Bud and Letting Dogs Do the News for ESPN Dog Day
Saturday, August 24, has just become a very important day, because it’s now ESPN Dog Day.
As part of an early National Dog Day celebration — the true holiday is on August 26 — ESPN2 is literally going to the dogs on Saturday.
On August 24, from noon until 6 p.m. ET, ESPN2 will be playing only canine sports content. This roster of tail wag-inducing puppy programming starts with the ESPN Dog Day Championship Pup, where “ESPN’s campus is turned into a doggie competition arena, including the addition of a 20,000-gallon Dock Diving pool, for live action in three different AKC-sanctioned dog venues: Agility, Dock Diving and Flyball,” according to ESPN.

ESPN 2 will also air the 1997 canine classic Air Bud at 4 p.m. and let dogs take over the sports news comedy show Always Late with Katie Nolan at 2 p.m. Plus, there’s even more dog content throughout the day, including an inside look at the 2019 AKC Agility Premier Cup.
