ESPN and ACC Detail Network for 2019 Launch

League will begin leveraging digital content in build-up to network’s kickoff.

The ACC kicked off its media days on Thursday with the announcement long known to its legion of fans. Partnering with ESPN, the conference will launch its own network in time for the 2019 season. In addition, it extended the existing grant of rights agreement to 2036.

The roll-out to the debut of the ACC Network will begin next month with the debut of the “ACC Network Extra” digital component on ESPN’s existing platform for the league. Currently, ESPN is the ACC’s exclusive worldwide rights holder, broadcasting a number of events on its Internet streaming platform.
