I want the ACC Network on Xfinity. It has been almost a year and I am getting disgusted. If you do not start offering the ACC Network, I will not resubscribe to your service when my current contract runs out. This is ridiculous.

A better question is why there isn't an agreement between the two. Is it Comcast's lack of desire to add the channel, or is ESPN's asking price so exhorbitant that Comcast feels it needs to take a stand even though every other provider decided it was reasonable enough?
Either way, it's a bad optic.

And you have to remember at the moment Comcast is the largest cable provider and I think the largest TV provider in this country. So with them being large and Disney being a huge empire themselves. It’s like two bricks smacking against each other. Neither want to budge which I don’t blame them considering the current climate we are in at the moment with COVID-19 and everyone cutting the cord. Smaller cable / satellite companies have absolutely no leverage so they have to accept whatever terms Disney throws at them. If they don’t. Well Disney will pull all the luxury branded channels like ESPN, ABC, Disney Channel, etc. and that small cable company will have numerous customers calling in complaining.
The ACC Network (a relatively recent new channel) is a niche channel at the moment. It’s nothing like the big ESPN channel. It’s a regional network that Disney probably wants to be carried nationwide across Comcast footprint like how we have the PAC-12 Network on our Xfinity system.
So with that being said it’s a lot of variables factoring in why the ACC Network isn’t on Xfinity. Disney also wants to put Disney+ app (their new streaming service) on X1. So that’s another talk within the carriage.
And it doesn’t help knowing Disney will put some ACC games on some of their other networks like the ABC channel and ESPN, ESPN2. So that definitely slows down the process and makes Comcast not rush.
So I wouldn’t expect the ACC Network arriving to Xfinity systems anytime soon.
Although the cable channels FX, FXX, FXM, Nat Geo and Nat Geo Wild are expiring this month. And they are currently owned by Disney which they recently acquired after buying the 21st Century FOX studio.
So we MIGHT get the ACC Network this month if Comcast wants to renew and have those networks remain on the Xfinity systems. If not, those will likely be dropped and won’t come back till whenever Disney comes to terms.
Hope that helps. But it’s really at the end of the day about money and where certain channels are placed in TV packages.

Why isn't the ACC Network available? His is especially true in the ACC footprint. The SEC Network is certainly available. Why not the ACC?
This is the reason that I keep looking for other TV options. I imagine other ACC fans are doing the same.

Currently my cable channel lineup includes the SEC network although there are no SEC schools in PA. We DO have a school in the ACC (Pitt) and we have another in a bordering state (Maryland). Also Notre Dame, which has a big national following plays in the ACC for many of their teams. When does Comcast plan to add the ACC network to our channel lineup? I've already ask this question numerous times and have yet to receive a response. Please add this channel!!!

All of the Comcast competitors in my area are carrying the ACC network. I am very pleased with the Comcast/xFinity services and have been a customer for 40 years, going back to Adelphia. However, I am very displeased that they choose not to carry the ACC network. All of my neighbors, friends and family have switched to other carriers and are able to watch the Virginia Tech football games while I am relegated to listening on the radio.
This season has been disrupted more than enough by the Covid virus.
When can I expect to see the ACCN channel(s) added to my lineup?

When pigs fly, at the moment.
Just a friendly reminder that one of ND's most important games of the year will be at UNC on the day after Turkey Day. Winner likely goes to the ACC title game in Charlotte to likely get beaten up on by Clemson. And Comcast subscribers in South Bend, Chicago, and anywhere else with a large ND fanbase will have to resort to alternative means to be able to see it without venturing out to an establishment, since it will be exclusively on ACC Network.
So a reminder--the most important game of the year for the Irish, and you can't see it, because Comcast and Disney can't play nice.

It is getting more and more frustrating that this company cannot seem to get the negotiations completed to get the ACC network. When my current agreement expires, if the ACC network is not available, I will change TV providers.

I really can't believe that Comcast and Disney have not solved this yet.
We are missing a bunch of good games.
Time to look at other options.

Several top 10 football teams are in the ACC and being televised on the ACCN channel. There is no excuse for Comcast not to come to an agreement so that fans can watch these games. ACC is as important as SEC and Big 10. Get with it. Don't want to have to switch to DISH!!

The only excuse Comcast has is an inability to kowtow to the ACC Network's demands.

Hello Xfinity-Another ACC college basketball season is set to begin in a few days and I still cannot get this channel on my line-up. Can you kindly provide an update for loyal viewers like me who enjoy ACC games, college football/basketball but have no access to this channel? Thanks in advance

Is Comcast getting ACCN. If not, I am switching providers and am bundled with you and paying a lot for stations I don't watch. Maureen Jones longtime customer with my deceased husband William but you made me get a whole new account and I was without all service for 4 days. So this is the last straw.
