The day Southeastern Conference sports fans have waited for has finally arrived, as ESPN and the SEC announced an agreement Thursday that will bring the new SEC Network to households around the country starting in August 2014.

SEC commissioner Mike Slive and ESPN president John Skipper detailed in a news conference Thursday the 20-year deal, which will last through 2034.

The network is expected to televise “approximately 45 SEC football games, more than 100 men’s basketball games, 60 women’s basketball games, 75 baseball games, and events from across the SEC’s 21 sports annually,” according to SECDigitalNetwork.com. It will also air original content, signing day coverage, spring football games and other additional programming.

“The SEC Network will provide an unparalleled fan experience of top quality SEC content presented across the television network and its accompanying digital platforms,” Slive said. “We will increase exposure of SEC athletics programs at all 14 member institutions, as we showcase the incredible student-athletes in our league.”

Subscribers of AT&T U-verse, which has already signed on to carry the network, will have access to it from Day 1 on a number of platforms, including PCs, tablets, smartphones and Xbox Live, among others.
