Full guide — where and how to watch
1) US TV broadcast
Most national coverage for ACC marquee games runs on the ESPN family of networks. For this Clemson-at-North Carolina matchup, ESPN is listed as the broadcaster, so tune to ESPN on your cable/satellite provider or watch via the ESPN app if your TV subscription includes it. CBSSports.com+1
2) Streaming (no cable or mobile)
If you don’t have cable, these streaming services commonly carry ESPN and are a reliable way to watch live:
- Fubo — carries ESPN/ABC/ACC games and often has a free trial. Good for sports fans. Fubo TV+1
- Sling TV — Sling Orange includes ESPN; offers short passes (day/week) if you only need one game. TVGuide.com
- YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV Stream — all include ESPN in their base packages in most regions. (Check local availability/pricing.) CableTV.com
- ESPN app / ESPN.com — can stream live if you log in with a participating pay-TV or streaming subscription. ESPN.com
Tip: Many services offer short trials or daily passes. If you only need the single game, look for a weekend pass on Sling or a trial on Fubo — but verify trial availability before game day. Fubo TV+1
3) ACC Network / regional rights
Some ACC matchups appear on ACC Network (ACCN), ABC, or ESPN2 depending on scheduling. For this specific Clemson @ UNC game the published schedule lists ESPN as primary. If you are an ACC Network subscriber, keep ACCN in mind for other conference matchups. Clemson Tigers Official Athletics Site+1
4) International viewers
Rights vary by country:
- Canada: TSN often carries college football (or check streaming bundles).
- UK / Europe / Australia: College football rights change yearly — common platforms include Sky/Viaplay (UK), DAZN (varies), or region-specific sports channels.
Always check local sports networks or the streaming services above with international packages. If a service is blocked in your country, review its terms before using a VPN — note that using VPNs may violate service terms. (I’m not recommending bypassing regional restrictions.) CableTV.com
5) Watch on mobile
- Download the ESPN app (iOS/Android) and log in with your TV/streaming provider.
- Fubo, Sling, YouTube TV, Hulu also have solid mobile apps for live viewing. Fubo TV+1
6) Radio & live updates
If you can’t stream video, local radio broadcasts and live-text score pages (ESPN live game page) provide play-by-play and stats. ESPN’s game center gives live scoring, drive charts, and highlights. ESPN.com
