Watching ACC Network live on ESPN3. There are 5 ACC soccer games on this evening.

Unlike SEC Network it doesn't require a channel subscription to watch the ACC network.

For us FiOS customers, ESPN3 is on a different tier. Third one, I believe.

Second one has BTN.

What you're watching is ACC Extra, the digital streaming service. I'm not sure how direct a comparison it is, as the full ACC Network with linear channel doesn't launch until 2019.

ESPN announced that it would require authentication to access. However, the authentication requirement may be limited to having the ESPN/2 tier.

I know I had to authenticate when I signed up, but keep in mind that the only subscription required is ESPN3... and yes, that does require a paid subscription, even if it is through your ISP.

I probably missed it, but is the ACC network going to be an independent channel? If so, what role does ESPN play in it?

It will be a linear cable channel of ESPN's starting in 2019.

For now, it is an ESPN digital app called ACC Network Extra.

Anyone know where to go to watch the Wake Forest and Tulane game on Thursday night? Channel or Link?

I'm not sure what source you will be using, but if you happen to be using the WatchESPN app on an iOS device, after you are connected, you would need to click on the Channel menu. Then, select the ACC Network Extra icon. You should find the Tulane vs Wake Forest (Football) option there for Thu Sep 1.

The game kicks off at 7 pm. The best source for TV start times is always: http://mattsarzsports.com/Season/Contents/football2016 Matt is an occasional poster on this site as well!

If you are on an iPhone or iPad, you can just use the ESPN app, which links to available games from its scoreboard. WatchESPN is now built into the ESPN app. I assume the same is true for Android devices.

On AppleTV, the ACC Extra programming shows up on the menu for live TV feeds. I assume it has similar positioning on Roku and other devices.

Whatever it is I think its great because it adds a ton of college sports coverage.
