The No. 17 UNC football team will host its home opener on Saturday against Appalachian State. The game is a sellout, and a rematch of one of the wildest college football games in recent memory: a 63-61 Carolina win in Boone last season. But the Mountaineers won the most recent meeting between the two teams in Chapel Hill, 34-31 in 2019.

If you aren’t headed to the game, here’s how you can follow along at home:

Broadcast Schedule

Those hoping to listen on the radio with Jones Angell on the call can do so at 97.9 FM and 1360 AM, or by streaming the radio broadcast on Chapelboro.com.

97.9 The Hill’s radio coverage of the game will begin at 2 p.m. with Inside Carolina Live from Chapel Hill.

At 4 p.m., the broadcast will shift over to Jones Angell and the Tar Heel Sports Network for their pregame coverage until kickoff. They will also carry postgame coverage for approximately 90 minutes after the conclusion of the game.

Per college football broadcast restrictions, you can access the stream (computer, tablet or phone) through Chapelboro.com, TuneIN or most streaming apps, but you must be within 75 miles of Chapel Hill and have your location services for your device turned on. This 75-mile rule applies only to Tar Heel Sports Network pre-game, game, and post-game broadcasts (one hour before kickoff until one and a half hours after the game ends). This does not apply to Inside Carolina Live or On The Heels, which you can stream anywhere in the world!  If you live more than 75 miles outside of Chapel Hill, you can access the Tar Heel Sports Network game broadcast stream through the Varsity Network.

TV Schedule

Television coverage of the game begins at 5:15 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ACC Network. As of today, AT&T, Dish Network, Xfinity and DirecTV all carry ACC Network. Spectrum customers have not been able to watch the ESPN family of networks since last week due to contract disputes with Disney.

What if I don’t have cable?

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

Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry ACC Network.

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

Hulu TV starts at $69/month and includes all ESPN channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV or NFL Red Zone.

Sling TV costs $51/month for the Orange + Sports Extra package. Be sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
