In a long-expected move, ESPN is exercising the option in its agreement with the league. The network’s extension takes the contract, currently expiring in 2027, to 2036. The deal remains mostly unchanged.
ACC presidents met Wednesday for a briefing and are expected to accept, if they have not already done so, the network’s extension, though there is little to no other option. Within the ACC’s deal with ESPN, the network — not the league — is afforded the option to extend the package by its own discretion.
As part of the extension, the league’s biggest brands — Florida State, Miami and Clemson — are expected to play more football games regularly with Notre Dame. The Irish are expected to play, at the very least, two of the three each season in a rotation.
