The road to March Madness continues today with the first games of the 2025 ACC Tournament.
The Athletic Coast Conference, which is typically among the most dominant in college basketball, is in a bit of a down year.
Duke, with freshman phenom Cooper Flagg, dominated the regular season and are poised to do the same with the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament and a bye into the quarterfinals.
Elsewhere on the bracket, No. 3 Clemson and No. 2 Louisville seem to be safe bets to make it into the NCAA Tournament. Clemson is the only team to beat Duke during the regular season and a repeat meeting between the two teams is possible in the final round.
When is the 2025 ACC Tournament?
The 2025 ACC Tournament begins today, March 11, and wraps up with a championship game on Saturday, March 15.
How to watch and stream the 2025 ACC Tournament:
The 2025 ACC Tournament will air across three different networks: ACCN, ESPN, and ESPN2.

You can also watch the ACC Tournament on Sling TV with the Sling Orange + Blue + Sports Extra plan. Though there’s no free trial, you’ll get 50% off your first month of the base plan, bringing the total down to $48 for the first month ($80.99/month after).
