The ACC Finally Lands Its Own TV Network Through a Partnership With ESPN

It will launch in 2019

Following years of speculation, ESPN and the Atlantic Coast Conference finally came to an agreement this morning to partner on a TV network dedicated to the ACC's member schools.

As part of the deal, the ACC extended its media rights agreement with ESPN through the 2035-36 school year. ESPN, which has held the rights to the ACC since 1979, signed a 12-year deal back in 2010 with the league that was reportedly worth $1.86 billion, or $155 million per year.
