The first episode of MarbleLympics 2019 was released on the 19th of April 2019, featuring the Opening Ceremony and the Underwater Race.
Opening Ceremony
The opening ceremony started with the entrance of the MarbleLympics trophy, with 2019 being the first MarbleLympics year consisting of a trophy for the overall winner. It then followed by Triton, the king of the Oceanics' nation, followed by the mascot of this year's MarbleLympics, Alvin. The 16 members of MarbleLympics 2019 staff then made an entrance, including reporter Rick O'Shea and commentator Greg Woods. Then the 16 qualified teams entered the ceremony one by one with their team, led by their coaches. Finally, the Oceanics walked up a tower to light the MarbleLympics torch to indicate the start of MarblLympics 2019.

The Underwater Race is similar to the one used in the qualifiers; however the track has been shortened due to the competitors having trouble holding their breath underwater.
