ABSOLUTE PANDEMONIUM: AArrow Sign Spinners Hit the DONK Toss World Championships
There are events… and then there’s pure chaos in the best way possible.
The DONK Toss World Championships delivered exactly that.
From flying inflatable donkeys to nonstop crowd energy, the 2026 championships—filmed for ESPN and ESPN8: The Ocho—brought together one of the most unique competitions we’ve ever been part of. Hosted live out of Regal Rooms in Austin, Texas, this event was something you had to see to believe.
What the Hell is DONK Toss?
If you’re new to the sport, here’s the breakdown:
Donk Toss is a glorious backyard sport that blends skill, chaos, and comedy. Players toss an inflatable donkey and score points based on how it lands—on its feet, ears-down, snout-first, or even upside down.
Created by the creative minds at Purple Bee Studios, the game started as a backyard party experiment and quickly evolved into a full-fledged competition sport. Think part cornhole, part bottle flip, all entertainment.
Now? It’s on national TV.
