Giving up cable doesn’t mean you can’t watch your favorite team take on their rivals. Live TV streaming services offer a variety of channels and plenty of DVR space. In fact, you may appreciate streaming’s versatility, like being able to log into your account and watch live channels when you’re away from home. Channels like ACC Network (ACCN) are right at your fingertips anytime you have Wi-Fi. Plus, you get to ditch your cable box and equipment rental fees.
What is ACC Network?
ACC Network is a sports TV network dedicated to the Atlantic Coast Conference, featuring teams like Boston College, Duke University, Florida State University, Syracuse University, and University of Pittsburgh. The network is owned by ESPN and launched in 2019. In addition to airing 40 football games per season, the network also covers basketball, lacrosse, and other college sports. In total, you’ll have access to about 1,300 events each year.

Sling TV has ACCN with the Sports Extra add-on. While it costs a little more, this paid extra also unlocks MLB Network Strike Zone, NHL Network, NBA TV, Tennis Channel, NFL RedZone, and Golf Channel. Regular ESPN is included in the base Sling Orange plan, while Sling Blue has Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and local channels in some markets.

DIRECTV STREAM has ACCN with the Choice plan and above. At that level of service, you’ll also get a ton of regional sports networks (RSNs), including Bally Sports. Even better, some of the additional channels on your guide include must-have sports networks like Big Ten Network, MotorTrend, CBS Sports Network, FS1, and Fox Sports 2 (FS2). DIRECTV STREAM is a dish-free service, so you won’t have to install any equipment.

Watch on Hulu + Live TV
- Suggested Plan: Hulu + Live TV Bundle
- Price: $76.99
- Free Trial: Yes
Hulu + Live TV has just one base channel lineup with 95+ channels, and your guide will have ACCN. If you’re nervous about not having a choice of packages, don’t be. Despite offering just one plan, Hulu + Live TV gives customers the ESPN Plus app for free, where you can find full college games and highlights throughout the season. Plus, all subscribers get local channels, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, FS2, NFL Network, MLB Network, TNT, Big Ten Network, and SEC Network. The only major omission from the lineup is NBA TV.
The Hulu + Live TV Sports Add-on adds NFL RedZone, FanDuel TV, FanDuel Racing, MAVTV, Outdoor Channel, and Sportsman Channel to your plan.

YouTube TV also has just one plan, and it also has ACCN. Other college games can be found on Big Ten Network and SEC Network, plus your guide includes ESPN, ESPN2, NFL Network, FS1, FS2, the CBS Sports Network, the Tennis Channel, and more. Unfortunately, YouTube TV doesn’t have the MLB Network. On the bright side, it’s the only place to purchase the NFL Sunday Ticket for out-of-market games during the regular season. This service also has several in-game features, like Key Plays and Stats.
Like competitors, YouTube TV lets you augment your plan with more channels. The paid Sports Plus add-on unlocks networks like NFL RedZone, Fox Soccer Plus, Billiard TV, FanDuel TV, and Fight Network. You’ll also have unlimited cloud DVR storage and three simultaneous streams.
