If your provider is not one of these, you will NOT be able to watch programming on the ACC Network.![]()
How can I watch if my provider does not carry ACCN?
YouTube TV, Hulu+TV Live, fuboTV and Sling are streaming providers available nationally that allow you to watch ACCN. Each have slightly different channel lineups and features, so visit their websites and choose the one that fits your viewing preferences. Best of all, each of these is currently offering a a free trial period. Click on their links to sign up. If you want to compare the streaming services, click here. Please note that, after the trial, there is a subscription fee if you continue the service. Fees vary by provider. The free trials are a great way to compare the services.
What is the easiest way to use one of these streaming services?
YouTube TV, Hulu+Live TV, fuboTV and Sling can be viewed using a desktop or laptop computer or mobile device. So if you are willing to watch on one of those, create your account, sign in and start watching.
It just takes several minutes. All of these services offer month-by-month agreements. No long-term contracts.
What if I want to watch on my television?
First, follow the steps to pick a streaming service and sign up (even if it is just for a free trial). In addition to watching on your computer, laptop or mobile device, you now have the ability to watch on a television.
How do I use a streaming service on my TV?
If you have a newer model Smart TV, use your remote control to navigate to its home page, look for the “Apps” area and search/download your preferred streaming service to set up your account (including a free trial). Once your account is established, you can start viewing. No external devices are required.
The availability of streaming apps may vary from by television manufacturer. Here’s a helpful link about Smart TVs.
I have an older “Smart TV” and it does not support these streaming apps.
What do I do?
If your Smart TV is pre-2016, some apps may not be compatible without the assistance of a wireless streaming device such as Roku, Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast. All of these devices are available through large box stores (Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot) or online and start at approximately $30. Plug them into your TV, register your device and then use their menu to add a streaming channel such as YouTubeTV, Hulu+TV Live or Sling.
Here are videos on how streaming devices work and operate:
Roku: Setup & Operation
Fire TV Stick: Setup / Basic Operation
Chromecast: Setup & Operation
What about ESPN3 or the ESPN Watch App? Can I watch the game there?
ACC Network Extra (ACCNX) programming is only available through the ESPN app if you subscribe to a provider who carries the network. The ESPN Watch App is no longer availalbe.
I can’t switch providers because I’m in a long-term contract.
Many providers do not charge an exit fee if you keep part of your existing contract. Since a wireless connection is required for streaming services, check with your provider if you retain your Internet service but want to eliminate other services associated with your contract.
I still have questions and need assistance.
We’re here to help. Simply email [email protected] and a staff representative will respond.

- From 18 to 23 June, Amsterdam hosts the main tournament of the year in 3x3 basketball - the World Cup, in which 20 men's teams and 20 women's teams take part
- 3×3 basketball is a new Olympic discipline starting from Tokyo 2020. About how Russia can get to the Games in Japan - also in this text
- The composition of the Russian men's team at the 2019 World Cup: Daniil Abramovsky, Alexander Antonikovsky, Alexander Zuev, Dmitry Cheburkin (all under 24 years old).
Group rivals: June 18 - Mongolia and Ukraine, June 20 - Estonia and Puerto Rico - The composition of the Russian women's team at the 2019 World Cup: Anna Leshkovtseva, Anastasia Logunova, Alexandra Stolyar, Olga Frolkina. Group opponents: June 19 - Indonesia and Ukraine, June 21 - Italy and New Zealand
- The top two teams (out of five) from each group advance to the playoffs. On June 22, quarter-finals will be held, on June 23 - semi-finals, matches for 3rd place and finals
- The best achievement of the Russian men's team is 3rd place at the 2014 World Cup in Moscow. The current world champion is Serbia. The Russian women's team won the 2017 World Cup and came second twice more (2014, 2018). Current world champion - Italy
The World Cup is also called the World Championship, and in principle this is not a mistake. In football, there are also two names in parallel: "World Cup" is more common in the world, "World Cup" - in Russia. FIFA doesn't mind.
But 3×3 basketball is the only correct name for the sport. The word "streetball" can hide games with a different number of participants and according to different rules. But only 3×3 basketball is included in the Olympic program. His motto is now appropriate: "From the streets to the Olympics." Everything became too serious, and it was time to get rid of the "street" prefix. Moreover, you can play not only in the open air.
Still, the best of streetball remains in 3×3 basketball. These are great street views. Now many tournaments are held both in halls and even in shopping centers, but the top one is to play basketball against the backdrop of the Prague Castle or the Eiffel Tower.
In Amsterdam, a 3x3 basketball court will be installed in one of the iconic places - the Museumplein.

How 3×3 basketball is played

The main difference from “classic” basketball is that they play on one hoop. They took half of the standard court (in 5x5 basketball, the dimensions are 15x28 meters) and shortened it a little more to adjust for dynamism and the number of players.
Another feature: for hitting from close and medium distances in 3x3 basketball they give 1 point (instead of 2), for an accurate throw from behind an arc with a radius of 6.75 m - 2 points (instead of 3). And this is very important, because in the parquet version of basketball, a long-range shot is only one and a half times "more expensive" than usual, and in the street version - twice. In colloquial speech, long-range shots in 3x3 basketball are habitually called "threes", so don't let yourself be confused.
The ball in 3×3 basketball is also its own, special. First, ribbed. Secondly, it is slightly smaller, size 6 (in 5×5 this size is used only in women's tournaments - men play with "seven"), but at the same time the same weight as a "standard" men's basketball.
The surface of the site is also different. 3×3 basketball is played not on parquet, but on special mesh plastic. It is better suited for open air: it passes both liquid and street dust. Such a court does not have to be constantly wiped.

Rules
Only 4 players per team (3 players on court + 1 substitute). There are no official coaches in 3×3 basketball. That is, they are, but they sit only in the spectator stands and do not have the right to prompt during the game (technical foul for violation). So during the game, the team is on its own. Time-outs are taken only by players. Which combination to play is also up to them.
Yes, here's another question: if they play for one ring, how do they not get confused?
In 5x5 basketball, the transfer of possession from one team to another is easy to visualize: run to the left - run to the right. There is no such thing in 3 × 3, so they came up with a rule for taking the ball over the two-point line.
If a team A player throws and misses, and a team B player takes the rebound, then he cannot attack immediately. First you need to get the ball past the two-point line. You can take him out yourself with a dribble, or you can pass to the partner standing behind the arc (then you don’t have to go out yourself). If you forget about it, it will turn out that you are attacking in your ring. The good news is that your opponents won't get points for this. Bad: you too, they will also take away the ball.
3×3 is much faster than regular basketball, and here teams play several matches a day (at the World Cup - no more than two, but in other tournaments there are 4). The attack here is given half as much - only 12 seconds, not 24. And the entire match lasts 10 minutes of pure time. You can finish it ahead of schedule - if one of the teams scores 21 points (it is considered a special chic to score 22 if you throw a two-pointer with a score of 20).
But if after 10 minutes there is a draw, overtime is played.
Not counting time, just up to 2 points scored. They can be scored with two throws - or one long-range one. If 20:20 is played in regular time, then the game will not stop after 21 points in extra time.
There are no personal fouls in 3x3 basketball (technical and unsportsmanlike exceptions), but it is very important to keep an eye on team fouls. Until you have accumulated 7 fouls per team, only fouls on the throwing opponent will be penalized (1 penalty for a foul on a one-pointer, 2 for a two-pointer). If the opponent scored with a foul - both the ball will be counted, and an additional 1 penalty will be thrown to you.
But starting from the 7th team foul, the opponent will throw two free throws, even if you broke the rules 10 meters from the ring. And this is very dangerous: on the scale of 3x3 basketball, even two points is a lot. Your affairs are very bad if you have scored 10 or more team fouls: then after the free throws, the opponent will also retain the right to attack.

You cannot qualify for the Tokyo Games directly from the World Cup, but you can earn important ranking points that are given for participating in all tournaments (both in national teams and with club teams).
From 18 to 21 June — group tournament. There are 5 teams in each group, respectively, all of them have 4 matches at this stage. The schedule is designed in such a way that the two Russian teams do not overlap on days: men play on Tuesday and Thursday, women play on Wednesday and Friday. Playoffs on Saturday and Sunday.
Selection for the 2020 Olympics
Finally, the most important thing: the Olympic selection. Basketball 3×3 is a new discipline, and only 8 teams each for men and women will play at the first Olympics. Of course, this is very little. But Russia has good chances. We explain.
You can get to Tokyo through qualification, but there is a very big competition: 20 teams for 3 places. There is one more "small" qualification - for countries that were not represented at the last two Olympiads by either men's or women's teams in 5x5 basketball.
The Russian national teams missed Rio 2016, but were in London 2012, so this selection is not for us.
The most reliable selection method in Tokyo is through the national ranking. Here, the system is approximately the same as in tennis: for each tournament, the player receives points. The higher the level of the tournament, the more points. The 9 best tournaments of the year are summed up in the player's personal rating, and the points of the top 100 players in the country are summed up in the national rating. The more massive 3x3 basketball is in the country (it is best with this in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, and now in Russia too) - the better for the country's rating.
It is according to this national rating that on November 1 this year, three men's and three women's teams will be selected for the Olympics (but no more than two from the continent). If the selection was carried out according to today's rating, then Russia would get into Tokyo with a margin.
