Building on the momentum of college conference-affiliated TV ventures like the SEC Network, ESPN and the Atlantic Coast Conference have set August 22, 2019, as the launch date for the Acc Network.
A week after it goes on the air, Georgia Tech’s football team will visit Clemson. While the Acc’s football schools are not perennial national championship contenders, the network will also carry 150 games of men’s and women’s basketball, a longtime strength of the conference. (Duke and North Carolina are longtime Acc stalwarts.)
The new network will air 1,300 live events a year on its TV and digital platforms, featuring the conference’s 15 member schools and 27 sports.
“We are all systems go with Acc Network preparations,” ESPN President and Co-Chairman, Disney Media Networks, James Pitaro. “The strength of the season opening game between Georgia Tech and Clemson is indicative of the robust schedule and programming we have planned for Acc fans.
