The UNC football team will face a quick turnaround from its biggest win of the year. The Tar Heels will travel to the Steel City Thursday night to face No. 21 Pittsburgh in a primetime battle. UNC and Pitt haven’t played since 2019, when the Panthers took an overtime thriller over the Tar Heels at Heinz Field. This will be the third week in a row Carolina has faced a ranked opponent.

If you aren’t making the journey up to Pittsburgh for the game, 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.

Unlike most weeks, there will be no Inside Carolina Live leading up to the game. 97.9 the Hill’s radio coverage will begin at 6:30 p.m. with pregame coverage from Jones Angell and the Tar Heel Sports Network. They will also carry postgame coverage for approximately an hour after the conclusion of the game. After that, the broadcast moves back to 97.9 The Hill’s studios, where veteran sports radio personalities Paul Connell and Andy Chacos will host their hour-long analysis show “On the Heels.”

All of these broadcasts will be available live on the radio or by streaming on Chapelboro.com.

TV Schedule

Television coverage of the game begins at 7:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN. As of today, Spectrum, AT&T, Dish and DirectTV all carry ABC, which is among the ESPN family of networks.

What if I don’t have cable?

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

Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry the ESPN family.

YouTube TV prices at $65/month and carries all of ESPN’s channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc.) as well as ABC.

Hulu TV also goes for $65/month and includes 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.
