How to watch men's ACC basketball tournament 2025: TV, stream, time and schedule
The ACC tournament is underway with second round action starting Wednesday in Charlotte.
Eleven teams remain in the fight to secure the NCAA Tournament auto-bid, something several teams are chasing since not many teams from the conference are projected to appear in March Madness. Duke is the heavy favorite to win the league championship, as the team led by Cooper Flagg is also a national championship contender. Other teams such as Louisville and Clemson present the best chance to defeat the Blue Devils, but anyone could step up and have a Cinderella run to the Big Dance, since that's what NC State did last season.
With the action underway, here's how to make sure to watch the ACC tournament:
