The Palm Beach County Sports Commission and the American Cornhole League (ACL) have partnered together to bring The Palm Beaches its very first professional cornhole event, the 2024 American Cornhole League Kick-off Battle. From April 3 to 7, 2024, the Palm Beach County Convention Center will transform into the epicenter of the sport featuring the nation’s top professional players.
The ACL Kick-off Battle will serve as the season-opening event of the ACL Pro Series’ nine-event schedule. The world’s 250 best cornhole players will battle it out in three main competition formats: Singles, Doubles, and Teams. The professionals are competing for over $100,000 in cash prizes as well as points towards their ranking at the 2024 ACL World Championships.
The ACL, owned by the American Cornhole Organization (ACO), is the official governing body for the sport of cornhole. The ACL hosts over 25,000 tournaments per year and has an active player base of over 100,000.
In addition to professional players, the event will attract cornhole enthusiasts from across the region. Beyond the economic impact created by visiting attendees, the event will also generate robust media coverage. The ACL Kick-off Battle will be televised live on CBS Sports Network. The event will also receive television coverage on CBS, which is strategically positioned between the Final Four of the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament. ESPN+ will provide over 20 additional hours of coverage, ensuring extensive access to the action.
The Palm Beach County Sports Commission consistently hosts over 40 different sports annually. This groundbreaking partnership allows cornhole to become a prominent addition to that roster.
Standing at 350,000-square-feet the competition’s host site, the Palm Beach County Convention Center, is one of the county’s most versatile facilities.
