Our top picks
fuboTV carries the ACC Network in its base package for in-market states along with 1,000 hours of DVR storage, ABC, FOX, CBS, ESPN, and the Big Ten Network.
Hulu + Live TV also offers the ACC Network in its base package, but the 50 hours of DVR storage won’t be enough for many families and the Hulu DVR upgrade will add to the monthly bill.
In order to get access to ACC Network on DIRECTV STREAM, an upgrade to the expensive “Choice” plan is required. If your only goal is streaming ACC Network, there are better choices. However, if you want access to local NBA, MLB, and NHL games, DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” may be worth the investment as the platform is the only option for streaming many regional sports networks such as Bally Sports Carolinas and Bally Sports Southeast.
