ESPN continues to scale back on the amount of World Series of Poker content that is broadcast on their biggest channel, ESPN.

In 2020, ESPN will only air three days of live coverage via ESPN, with the rest of the main event will be aired on ESPN2.

The final day of play in the main event, which takes place on July 14th, will be one of the days that will air on ESPN.
