The ACC Network (via ESPN) will launch on Thursday, August 22, 2019 with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets taking a road trip to face the Clemson Tigers. The Jackets will have a new head coach in Geoff Collins, while Dabo Swinney’s Tigers are the defending College Football Playoff National Champions.
The ACC joins the Pac-12, SEC, and the Big Ten Network as full on conference network programming. Back in 2006, the Big Ten’s first live broadcast was Appalachian State at Michigan in what could be dubbed the biggest upset in college football history.
