UNC will travel up to Charlottesville this weekend to take on No. 14 Virginia at John Paul Jones Arena. The Tar Heels are 5-2 against the Cavaliers in head coach Hubert Davis’ tenure.

If you aren’t making the trip with the team, here’s how you can follow along at home:

Inclement Weather Update

Saturday’s game between UNC and Virginia was originally listed as tipping off at 2 p.m. on ESPN. However, due to expected inclement weather across the southeast that day, the game has been moved up to 12 p.m. and will now be aired on ESPN2.

Broadcast Schedule

Those hoping to listen on the radio 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 broadcast of Saturday’s game will begin at 10:30 a.m. with Countdown to Tip-Off, hosted by Brighton McConnell. At 11 a.m., the broadcast will shift over to Jones Angell and the Tar Heel Sports Network for their pregame coverage until tip-off. They will also carry postgame coverage for approximately an hour after the conclusion of the game.

For preseason, regular season and ACC Tournament game broadcasts, 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. 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 Saturday’s game begins with tip-off at 12 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2. As of today, Spectrum, AT&T, Dish Network, Xfinity and DirecTV all carry ESPN2.

What if I don’t have cable?

A live stream will be available through the ESPN app or on ESPN.com. You will need to enter TV provider information to access this stream.

Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry ESPN2.

YouTube TV costs $83/month and includes the entire ESPN family of networks, including ESPN2.

Hulu TV starts at $89/month and includes ESPN2, but does not carry NBA TV or NFL Red Zone.

Sling TV is the cheapest at $46/month for the Orange package. Be sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not include ESPN or ESPN2.
