Who carries the ACC Network? Channel listings, game schedule

The ACC Network launched Thursday, Aug. 22,with Georgia Tech football having a prominent role early on.

New coach Geoff Collins' Yellow Jackets open the season against the reigning national champion Clemson Tigers at 8 p.m. Aug. 29 on the new network. Georgia Tech's home opener against South Florida (2 p.m., Sept. 7) also will air on the new channel.

For its college football debut, ESPN's GameDay — in its 26th season — will be live from Clemson, S.C. Dave O'Brien and Tim Hasselbeck will call the inaugural football game on the new network. They'll be assisted by Katie George and Maria Taylor on the sidelines.

The network, owned and operated by ESPN, will air 40 regular-season football games, including 14 in the first three weeks of the 2019 season. Its financial boost to the 14-member schools may not be as significant in its first year.

Where can I watch?

Several large television providers, including some with a presence in the Atlanta market, have yet to agree to carry the network. In Georgia, Disney — which owns ESPN — has agreements with providers DirecTV, Verizon Fios, TVision and Google Fiber. Charter-Spectrum cut a deal Aug. 14.
• Charter-Spectrum: Channel 388
• DirecTV: Channel 612
• Google Fiber: Channel 221
• Verizon Fios: Channels 329/829

What about streaming services?

YouTube TV, Hulu LIVE TV and PlayStation Vue are all linked. (Search ACC Network for listings.) Games also be available on the ESPN app to authenticated cable subscribers.

What providers don’t have agreements?

After launch, AT&T U-Verse, Comcast and the Dish Network, all of which have significant coverage in Atlanta, have yet to reach agreements. That represents about 47 million households.
