Today the ACC announced Charter Spectrum as the newest provider that will be carrying the new ACC Network. Getting new providers on board has been a slow process, which in turn has led to increased frustrations amongst each ACC teams fan base.
Back at ACC Media Days, conference commissioner John Swofford said the ACC was on a three year plan as far as getting all the television providers on board. There’s a reason for that, and that’s because ESPN, the company that is partnering with the ACC on this endeavor, isn’t actively out trying to get all the providers signed up.
Instead what they’re doing is waiting until each providers deal with Disney for all ESPN programming is up for renewal. Then, when a new deal is reached, the ACC Network is being included as a way for Disney to justify an increase in carriage fees.
So far, these are the providers that are confirmed to be carrying the ACC Network.

any idea if direct TV now/ att TV now will be carrying network?
I have heard Direct Tv Now will have it but for an extra charge. I haven’t been able to confirm that anywhere tho.
This is so frustrating I’ve been with Dish for a long time but I will switch providers to be able to get my football games. How hard can it be. People want it.
Dish will have it. Just probably won’t happen until their deal with Disney for the rights to all ESPN programming is up for renewal. That’s how every non streaming provider has gotten it.
what about dish they provide all other conference networks plus longhorn.
No deal for Dish Network yet
