It’s Rivalry Week in the ACC, here’s how to watch all of the games
Whether for one game or the rest of the season, we’ve got the best ways to make sure you don’t miss any action.
It is now Rivalry Week across college football, and we as fans have a better idea as to what teams are contenders and which ones are pretenders. So, if you are just now dialing into the season, we will run through the details you need to stream all of the ACC Conference action, whether you are looking to just watch one game, just this weekend, or the rest of the season.
How to stream ACC football
Best streamer to watch ACC football all-season long
The majority of ACC football game will air on a Disney-owned channel — ABC, ACC Network, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU — so if you are looking to stream the rest of the college football season, then we recommend signing up for a subscription to Sling TV. While Sling doesn’t offer a free trial, which makes it less than ideal for just watching a single game, it does provide the cheapest option to all of the ESPN-branded channels via its Sling Orange channel package, and the Sports Extra add-on pack for the conference-specific channels.

While ABC is not included in Sling Orange, because every sporting event that airs on the channel is available via ESPN3, you won’t miss any games that the network broadcasts. If you want to go the Sling Orange route, you have a ton of subscription options. The streamer recently began selling day, weekend, and week-long plans for $5, $10, and $15, respectively, if you are looking for something short-term.
However, if you want to go with the more traditional month-long subscription, you can get a subscription for $46 per month. Then, if you want to make sure you have access to ACC Network, ACC Network Extra, Big Ten Network, ESPNEWS, ESPNU, MLB Network, NHL Network, SEC Network, and SEC Network+, amongst others, you will need to opt for the Sports Extra pack as well. That is an extra $11 monthly, bringing your total to $57 per month, far cheaper than any alternative.
The one downside of Sling for ACC fans is that the streamer will not get you access to the conference games airing on The CW. However, if you have an over-the-air antenna, it can pick up the channel’s signal, and Sling will allow you to incorporate it into its channel lineup.
Sling TV
Sling TV is The Streamable’s choice for cord-cutters on a budget. Sling is a live TV streaming service with multiple channel packages. The $45.99/month Sling Orange plan offers about 30 channels, including Disney Channel and ESPN. The $45.99/month Sling Blue plan offers about 40 channels, including ABC, Fox, and NBC in major markets.
You can combine Orange+Blue for a total of $60.99 / month. Sling also offers many channel add-on packages starting at $6/month.
Best streamer to watch individual ACC games
If you are looking for a way to watch a single ACC game, or any college football game for that matter, then we would recommend DIRECTV. The streamer offers the live TV streaming industry’s longest, consistent free trial at five days. While other platforms sometimes promise one or two weeks for free, it is rarely ever available to all customers, and you can’t always find out your trial length until you complete the subscription process. So, we recommend sticking with DIRECTV, especially if you are just worried about checking out one game.
However, if you like what you see from DIRECTV during your five-day trial, then it might be worth sticking with it long-term, especially as a sports fan. Earlier this year, the streamer introduced focused channel packages called Genre Packs, including the MySports pack.
This subscription option only includes sports-focused channels and comes in at a competitive $70 per month. Included in the pack are ACC Network, Big Ten Network, ESPN2, ESPNEWS, ESPNU, FS1, FS2, Golf Channel, MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network, NHL Network, TBS, TNT, truTV, and USA Network. In addition, ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC are available in nearly every market across the country, but double-check availability in your area before subscribing.
Another bonus that makes the MySports package attractive is the fact that you will also get free access to the ESPN Unlimited streaming service that includes every ESPN channel, everything from ESPN+, as well as streaming exclusives.
Similar to Sling, the DIRECTV MySports package does not provide access to The CW, however, the streamer’s large packages do carry the broadcast network in some markets.
DIRECTV
DIRECTV is one of The Streamable’s top choices for the best live TV streaming service overall in 2026, especially for users who want the most channels or want to watch the most live sports. With an unbeatable lineup of local, news, sports, and entertainment channels, three main signature packages, an unlimited DVR, and 20 simultaneous streams at home, DIRECTV remains a premier choice for any cord-cutter.

In addition to Sling TV and DIRECTV, there are other options to watch this week’s games, including Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, and YouTube TV, all of which offer free trials of varying — and sometimes indeterminant — length.

In addition, since so many ACC games appear on ESPN networks, the worldwide leader in sports’ new standalone streaming service is an option, as every sporting event on an ESPN channel streams there. In addition, you get streaming exclusives like ESPN+ content, alternate broadcasts, the 30 for 30 library, WWE Premium Live Events, and more.
ESPN Unlimited
ESPN launched its highly anticipated direct-to-consumer streaming service on August 21, 2025. For the first time, this service gives sports fans access to its full lineup of linear channels without a traditional cable or satellite subscription.
