2019 ACC Tournament set all-time ESPN records.

Previously, we told you that the ACC had a record-setting Men's Basketball Tournament this year. What we didn't tell you is that the ACC Tournament provided the two most-watched games in ESPN Championship Week history! Yes, Duke-North Carolina and Florida State-Duke BOTH broke the old record for most-viewed Championship Week games on ESPN.
This year’s New York Life ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament set new records for ESPN, as the Duke-North Carolina semifinal and the Duke-Florida State championship game are now the most-viewed Champ Week games in ESPN history.
The season’s third meeting between Duke and North Carolina averaged 4,150,000 viewers, which in addition to setting a new viewership record for ESPN, was the most-viewed Champ Week game across networks this season. The previous record for most-viewed game was the 1998 ACC championship game, which averaged 4,011,000 viewers.
The championship game between Florida State-Duke matchup averaged 4,063,000 viewers, the second most-viewed Champ Week game in ESPN history, and second most-watched Champ Week game of the season across all networks.
