With the launch of the new ACC Network coming in August of 2019, we knew that there would be some scheduling changes as the conference will switch to a 20-game schedule. On Friday, ahead of the ACC semifinal games in Charlotte ESPN rolled out the plans for what the ACC Network will look like during basketball season.
The new 20-game conference schedule means that ACC play will begin a lot earlier than it normally does in late December/early January. And by a lot earlier, we mean it.
The ACC announced its season opener schedule taking place on November 5th and 6th with 15 teams taking part.
