ACC Network schedule for Week 1 of the 2025 college football season

ACC Network kicks off a six-game Week 1 schedule on Thursday with NC State hosting East Carolina at 7 p.m. Thursday.

The new “ACC Primetime Football” team will call the action as former Boston College head coach Steve Addazio joins veteran play-by-play voice Wes Durham and reporter Dana Boyle on ACCN’s top crew.

That trio will also call No. 16 SMU’s season debut against East Texas A&M on Saturday night (9 p.m.).

The SMU opener will be the first ACCN game this season to feature live audio from the ACC Game Day Operations Center in Charlotte.

When a reviewable play occurs and the game is stopped for further review of the play, the ACCN audience will be able to listen to the real-time conversation among the referee, instant replay official in the stadium, and the ACC’s collaborative instant replay official in Charlotte.

Throughout the season, Friday ESPN and Saturday night ACCN games officiated by the ACC will offer this access on replay decisions, a first of its kind in college football coverage.

ACCN’s new afternoon crews will also debut on Saturday of Week 1. Thirteen-year NFL veteran and UVA Football alum Rodney McLeod will join Jorge Sedano and reporter Victoria Arlen in his first season as an analyst. Their opening ACCN assignment is Eastern Kentucky at Louisville (3 p.m.).

Newcomers Max Browne, the former Pitt quarterback, and Kendra Douglas, sideline reporter and former UNC track & field athlete, join Chris Cotter for Coastal Carolina at Virginia (6 p.m.).
