What channel is the ACC Network on DirecTV?

The ACC Network is here just in time for college football season but what channel is the new network and how can fans tune in to watch games?

With the start of a new college football season comes the launch of a new conference-specific network from ESPN. The ACC Network is set to launch on Thursday, Aug. 22 at 7 p.m. ET, just ahead of the start of the 2019 football season. And this should be a treat for fans.

Obviously, the programming on ACC Network will be specific to the ACC. But that doesn’t mean they will be shy on content. Much like with the SEC Network, there will be wall-to-wall coverage of the conference throughout the college football season and of every other sport throughout the year. Most importantly for football fans, though, ACCN will have 40 live college football games in the 2019 season.

This is going to be big for fans of the ACC, without question. However, as this is the launch of the new network, that means that fans are undoubtedly going to be looking for how to watch ACC Network. We’ve got you covered.
