After their exhibition win against Elizabeth City State last Friday, the UNC men’s basketball team will officially open the regular season Tuesday night when Loyola visits Chapel Hill. It will be the first game with no capacity limits in the Dean Smith Center since March 2020. The Tar Heels have won 19 consecutive home openers, and will look to keep that streak going against the Greyhounds.

If you can’t make to the Smith Center for the game, here’s how to follow along from home:

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 coverage of the game will begin at 5:30 p.m. with Countdown to Tip-Off With Brighton McConnell.

At 6 p.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.

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

TV Schedule

The game will be broadcast on ACC Network. Television coverage starts at 7 p.m.

What if I don’t have cable?

A live stream will be available on ESPN’s online platforms. Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry the ESPN family and ACC Network.

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

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 $46/month for the Orange + Sports Extra package. Make sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
