ACC Network Extra officially arrives this Friday, August 19. You’ve heard all about how ESPN and the ACC would be launching digitally this fall, three years before an actual cable/satellite network in 2019. Now that digital network is here, per a release from the ACC today.
Current users with access to Watch ESPN and the ESPN app will get immediate access to the Olympic sports content set to air on the digital network. According to the ACC, 331 events will air this fall, all in Olympic sports (so not football or basketball). They’re the first of a total of more than 600 games to air on ACC Network Extra during the 2016-17 academic year.
