Has anyone done a breakdown of what streaming service is best now that we’re in the ACC? I was trying to decide if I should re-sign up for Fubo or try something different like YouTubeTV.

Why couldn't these idiots sign the Apple or Comcast contract? Going to lose so much viewership for the basic cable user.

I'm trying to DVR this on YouTubeTV, but it's only scheduling for the Tuesday night rerun. Can you not DVR the ACCNX games?

For anyone still worried or a little confused, if you can normally watch ESPN (be it cable or a streaming service) you WILL be able to watch this game. And you have a couple options to do so.

You can install the ESPN app on your TV or device, or watch on espn.com/watch in a web browser. You simply sign in using the login from your own provider (cable or streaming service). See:

https://support.espn.com/hc/en-us/articles/20318834790932-Signing-in-to-my-TV-provider

To test it out, go to https://www.espn.com/watch/ Then click on the account icon at the top right of the screen, and click TV Provider. If yours doesn't show up in the icons, click All Providers and search. (If you have Fubo, for example, it will be down in the list)

*PS -- You do not need ESPN+, just look for ACCNX on the ESPN app

When I tried this it was clear I needed ESPN+. That required a separate subscription. I might have missed something, but that's what I found.

You would only need it if a game is specifically labeled "ESPN+" (which means it's exclusive to that service). Our game is not specifically ESPN+, but rather is on "ACCNX" (the ACC Network's streaming channel), which is available on the general ESPN app and does not require an ESPN+ subscription.

Thanks for clarifying! It's available on ACCNX ~or~ ESPN+.

Additionally, here's a rundown of the ACC Networks (ACCN and ACCNX) https://secure.espncdn.com/promotions/bsa/2021/apps/getaccn/pdf/21082792OST_ACC_ComeForItAll_ACCN-ACCNX.pdf

edit: Removed where I said it's not also on ESPN+

This particular game is available via ESPN+, though. The ESPN app has entries for both ACCNX and ESPN+.

Oh! Thanks. I'll need to go back and redact my misinformation.
