"The long-awaited ACC Network will launch by Aug. 2019, according to league sources.
The Atlantic Coast Conference and ESPN have agreed to a 20-year deal and rights extension through the 2035-36 academic year, sources said.
The ACC also extended its conference grant of rights deal nine years through 2035-36, a source said."
....
"While the linear network will launch by 2019, the ACC Network's digital channel starts this fall, sources said."

After six years of deliberation and discussion, the ACC is close to an updated television deal with ESPN that will include the long-awaited ACC cable channel as well as innovative “over-the-top” components, content delivered directly to viewers via the Internet, known as OTT.
The announcement regarding a new ESPN deal could come as soon as the ACC’s football kickoff event in Charlotte on Thursday and Friday, where ACC commissioner John Swofford is scheduled to meet with the media Thursday morning.

"ACC commissioner John Swofford has spent much of the last four years offering vaguely confident updates on a prospective television outlet dedicated to the league. With the project almost assuredly near fruition, here’s suspecting he’d like to avoid further jousting with media at the conference’s preseason football gathering.
That’s why the ACC and ESPN could well unveil their future partnership before Swofford and reporters meet July 21 in Charlotte, N.C., for his annual state-of-the-conference presser.
As always with negotiations, contractual minutiae may intervene, but if so, this year’s ACC Kickoff will resemble 2012’s, when Swofford’s words and tenor all but announced that the league was poised to welcome Notre Dame – the parties confirmed their nuptials less than two months later.
The linear and/or digital details of an ACC channel remain unknown, but the momentum has been clear since spring."
