Important channels
Under the ACC TV contract with ESPN, which runs through 2036, there are only five channels Pitt football games can appear on this season: ABC, ACC Network, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU. In the table below, we compare the major live TV streaming services based on which of the most important ACC football channels they carry. I also added AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh to the table even though the regional sports network doesn’t carry many Pitt football games because it does carry Penguins and Pirates games, and Steelers commentary.
Most Pitt football games will be on the ACC Network and ESPNU. Some “smaller” Pitt games will also be broadcast on ESPN2, ESPNU, and the ACC Network.

FAQ
