College football fans: Thereâs a new channel youâll have to go to find a few games this year.
The Atlantic Coast Conference, in partnership with ESPN, launched ACC Network on August 22. About 450 live contests, including 40 regular-season games, will be televised annually. All ACC Network customers will also be able to access ACC Network Extra, a digital platform available on ESPN.com and the ESPN app.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: 3 running backs poised for breakout seasons
Ahead of its launch, the network had distribution deals with Altice, DirectTV, Google Fiber, Hulu Live TV, Optimum by Suddenlink, PlayStation Vue, TVision, Verizon Fios and YouTube TV. Since the start of the fall sports season, ACC Network has signed deals with Dish Network, Sling, Cox Communications and Spectrum and Charter Communications. Comcast (Xfinity) cable still has not reached an agreement to carry the network.
More cable and television providers could reach an agreement with the network as the 2019 season continues.
