The CW extends ACC rights through 2030-31 with ESPN app streaming
The CW Network has extended its sublicense agreement with ESPN for ACC football and men's and women's basketball through the 2030-31 season. This new deal also includes the addition of live game streaming via the ESPN app.
Key Takeaways
- The CW’s ACC sublicense with ESPN now runs through the 2030-31 season.
- Coverage includes ACC football plus men’s and women’s basketball.
- Live game streaming is being added in the ESPN app.
- The CW has kept a growing ACC slate under the new extension.
