The ACC will officially ring in the 2025 football season with its annual ACC Kickoff in Charlotte this week. The three-day event, which begins Tuesday, will feature all 17 member schools and media affiliates from across the country.

Representing UNC in Charlotte will be head coach Bill Belichick, quarterback Gio Lopez, wide receiver Jordan Shipp and defensive backs Thad Dixon and Will Hardy. If you’d like to tune in to catch the Tar Heels during their time at the main podium, here’s how you can do so:

TV Schedule

All three days of the ACC Kickoff will be broadcast on ACC Network, which is available on all major cable TV carriers. UNC’s day at the kickoff is Thursday, July 24, and the Tar Heels will speak at the main podium from 2 to 2:30 p.m. A complete schedule for the ACC Kickoff can be found here.

What if I don’t have cable?

A live stream of the ACC Kickoff will be available through the ESPN app or on ESPN.com. To tune in for just UNC’s time at the podium, click here. The UNC-specific stream is available through ACC Network Extra, the online-only streaming service affiliated with ACC Network.

Additionally, several cord-cutting options are available.

YouTube TV costs $83/month and carries all of ESPN’s channels, including ACC Network.

Hulu TV goes for $82/month and includes ACC Network, but does not carry NBA TV or NFL Red Zone.

Sling TV is the cheapest at $57/month for the Orange + Sports Extra package. Be sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN or ACC Network.
