The 2024 ACC Football Kickoff has arrived and for the first time, the event will include four days of interviews due to the conference expanding to 17 teams following the additions of Cal, SMU, and Stanford. The ACC Network will have 48 hours of live coverage from the Hilton Charlotte Uptown in Charlotte, North Carolina.

ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips will open the event by taking the podium at 1pm on Monday, July 22nd. His remarks will be broadcast on the ACC Network. From there, representatives from each team will field questions from the media for 30 minutes. Those press conferences, which will take place over the four days in Charlotte, will be streamed on ACC Network Extra, available on the ESPN app to ACCN subscribers.

Additional interviews with players and coaches will be televised on the ACC Network from the ACC Huddle desk featuring Taylor Tannebaum, Eric Mac Lain, EJ Manuel, Mark Richt, Eddie Royal, Wes Durham, Mark Packer, and Justin Walters. The ACC Network will provide live coverage of the ACC Football Kickoff from 12-4pm on Monday and then again at 8pm on Monday for the ACC Huddle: Season Preview (also airing on ESPN2) and then the ACC Network will be live from 9am-4pm on Tuesday and Wednesday and from 9am-3pm on Thursday.
