NOTRE DAME, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame women’s soccer team will have a record 15 games broadcast over linear or digital networks, an effort made possible in part by the launch of ACC Network Extra, a dedicated digital channel for Atlantic Coast Conference sports that will debut Friday, August 19.
Eleven Irish games will be broadcast on the new ACC platform, the initial phase of the full ACC Network announced by ESPN and the ACC. Each Irish home match will be streamed on ACC Network Extra, which is available to users who have access to WatchESPN and the ESPN app.
In addition to coverage by ACC Network Extra, the Irish will appear on the Big Ten Network (August 25 at Michigan), the Pac-12 Network (September 11 at Stanford) and Regional Sports Network/ACC Network Extra (October 23 at Wake Forest).
The Irish open the season at 7 p.m. ET Friday against Wright State at Alumni Stadium. To purchase women’s soccer tickets, visit UND.com/BuyTickets.
