The Tar Heels are seeking their first 4-0 start since 1997, which coincidentally was the last season before head coach Mack Brown left Chapel Hill for Texas. To reach that mark again in 2022, UNC will have to beat Notre Dame for just the second time in program history. The Fighting Irish come into Kenan Stadium with a 1-2 record, but are still the same team which began the year ranked No. 5 in the country.
If you won’t be among the sold-out Kenan crowd on Saturday, here’s how to 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 12:30 p.m. with Inside Carolina Live.
At 2:30 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 3:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ABC. As of today, Spectrum, AT&T, Xfinity, Dish and DirecTV all carry ABC.
What if I don’t have cable?
A live stream will be available on ESPN’s digital platforms.
Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry ABC.
YouTube TV prices at $65/month and carries ABC, as well as all of ESPN’s channels.
Hulu TV also goes for $70/month and includes ABC and all ESPN channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV or NFL Red Zone.
Sling TV is the cheapest at $35/month for the Orange package. Make sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
