If you can’t get enough ACC basketball, you’re in luck.

The league, as ACC Commissioner John Swofford discussed Wednesday at the ACC Operation Basketball, will expand its league schedule from 18 to 20 games. Swofford said in Charlotte that will mean ACC league games will be played in November in the future, creating more inventory for ESPN and the ACC Network, which launches next season.

“There will be a couple (games) before Christmas and then it will get back into the more normal flow,” Swofford said. “They'll be spread out but some of them will definitely be on the ACC channel.

“We've got 15 schools in basketball. So not everybody can necessarily play a conference game those opening couple of nights. So there will be one that plays a non-conference, very high-profile game that will fit right in in terms of the quality of the game to tip off the season.”

Television, Swofford admitted, had a major impact on the ACC’s decision to add more league games to the schedule.

“It had an impact,” Swofford said. “I think there are a lot of reasons to do a 20-game schedule even without television. Television adds another reason to do so. Probably makes it a little tougher on the coaches. But I suspect most of you welcome that. I think fans welcome that.

“So I think it will be popular. Having our own channel is a factor in that because we need quality inventory and there's nothing of any higher quality, generally speaking, than two ACC basketball teams playing each other.

“And the early season, you know, we've talked a lot about how do you tip off the basketball season in a way that you kick off the football season? And that's really hard to do because of obvious circumstances. And our discussions have been more national about that.

“This is a way we can sort of address it just as a conference in terms of tipping off the year. And if you go back -- gosh, you can go back in the '60s, there were ACC conference games in December in the '60s. A lot of people forget that. I think it will be fun. I think it will be a terrific thing.”

All 135 ACC regular season league games this season and all 14 games of the New York Life ACC Tournament will be available on any ESPN Network, Raycom, CBS Sports, the regional sports networks or ACC Network Extra.

The ACC will begin the 20 game schedule in 2019.

"It's exciting," said Pittsburgh coach Jeff Capel. "I mean, with the ACC Network coming, look, we're already the most visible league in the country. And it's going to become even more visible. I don't think any coach will think you're ready for an ACC game to start. But I think for a player it's exciting. Look, you want to play in big games. And every ACC game is a big game. And the greater the challenge, the more difficult the challenge, you get to find out a lot about your team early and see exactly where you are early."
