For only the third time in program history, the UNC football team will play in the featured matchup on ESPN’s signature college football show, College GameDay. The popular show will broadcast live from Charlotte on Saturday morning to preview the entire weekend’s slate of games, but will primarily focus on the highly-anticipated matchup between No. 20 UNC and South Carolina.

Here’s all the information you need if you plan on attending the live broadcast:

Location

The show will set up in Charlotte’s Romare Bearden Park, just a few blocks east of Bank of America Stadium. The pit will open at 6:30 a.m., two-and-a-half hours before the broadcast begins at 9 a.m.

If you aren’t making the early trip down to Charlotte to see the broadcast in person, here’s how you can follow along at home:

TV Schedule

College GameDay will begin its live broadcast at 9 a.m. on ESPN and continue through 12 p.m. A preview show, Countdown to GameDay, runs from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. on ESPN. As of today, Spectrum, AT&T, Dish Network, Xfinity and DirecTV all carry ESPN.

What if I don’t have cable?

A live stream will be available on ESPN’s digital platforms.

Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry ESPN.

YouTube TV prices at $73/month and carries the entire ESPN family of channels, including ESPN2.

Hulu TV goes for $70/month and includes all ESPN channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV or NFL Red Zone.

Sling TV is the cheapest option at $40/month for the Orange package. Be sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
