Just in time for the start of the season, the ACC Network hit the airwaves for the first time Thursday night – and if you have even the slightest interest in Louisville sports, you're going to want to know how to watch.

The ACC Network will bring 24-hour coverage of the Atlantic Coast Conference to TV. Plenty of Louisville coverage, from the Cardinals basketball team's 2019-20 opener in November to an upcoming behind-the-scenes reality show with the Louisville football team, will be in the mix.

It'll have some Cardinal flavor as well, with former athletes Eric Wood and Katie George signed up for broadcasting roles.

What are the channels?

Spectrum TV users in Louisville can find the network on channels 524 and 937.

DirecTV users, meanwhile, can see the ACC Network on channel 612.

Additionally, ACC Network content should be available to WatchESPN app users, which requires signing in with a cable provider.

How can I stream the ACC Network?

The ACC Network has carrier agreements in place with the following broadcasters: DirecTV, Google Fiber (... which doesn't really help us in Louisville), Hulu Live TV, PlayStation Vue, Spectrum, YouTube TV and several other providers. Check out the full list here.

The current list of have-nots includes AT&T U-Verse and Dish Network. University of Louisville officials have urged fans who want the ACC Network to contact their cable providers and tell them to work out a deal with Disney, which owns ESPN.
