DURHAM, N.C.—The Duke men's lacrosse team will have seven of its regular season games televised on either ESPNU or ACC Network as part of the 2020 ACC Men's Lacrosse television package ESPN announced Thursday. The Blue Devils make their television debut Saturday, Feb. 1 on ACC Network.
The ACC Network will televise four of the games, including ACC tilts against North Carolina and Virginia on Thursday nights. Duke will play on ESPNU against Jacksonville as well as the other two ACC battles at Notre Dame and Syracuse.
Since 2007, Duke has appeared on either ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU 98 times and on the entire ESPN family of networks 141 times.
The ACC Network is carried by cable providers Spectrum, Google Fiber TV, AT&T U-verse, DirecTV, and DISH. Those outside of the ACC footprint might need to subscribe to a special sports package to have access. The streaming services supporting the network are YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, PlayStation Vue and Sling.
If you are a subscriber to any of those listed above you can watch on mobile through the ESPN app. Links for games will be available on GoDuke.com the week of the game.
ACCN will exclusively televise 34 men and women's games this spring, including 19 men's and 15 women's games, marking the most national television coverage ever for ACC men's and women's lacrosse. Additionally, ACC Network Extra (ACCNX), ACCN's digital platform available on the ESPN App, will carry 13 men's and 59 women's contests throughout the spring.
"Continuing with our commitment to elevate coverage of all ACC sponsored sports, we are excited to feature extensive coverage of both men's and women's lacrosse on ACCN," said Stacie McCollum, ESPN vice president of programming and acquisitions. "ACCN will showcase the best lacrosse teams in the country each week, including reigning national champion Virginia, and in a dedicated window on Thursday nights. The ACC has a longstanding tradition of success in lacrosse and the network will provide an opportunity to deliver more games than ever to its passionate fan base."
ACC Championship Coverage on ACCN
ACCN will feature championship coverage from men's and women's lacrosse, including all seven games of the ACC Women's Lacrosse Championship (April 22, 24, 26) and the semifinals of the ACC Men's Lacrosse Championship (April 24). ESPNU will carry the ACC Men's Lacrosse Championship game on Sunday, April 26.
