Today is July 4. And it's definitely a weird one. Global pandemics. A country as divided as it's been in a long, long time. Celebrations canceled.
But it's still a holiday. And even if you're going to be stuck inside, without small-scale explosives going off in the driveway, there's still plenty to do.
The TV sports schedule is pretty hefty today, from rugby to Formula 1 to all kinds of soccer, plus cornhole, if that's what you're into. And there's a smattering of holiday fare in prime time, too.
Read on for the full schedule. All times are Eastern.
