UNC basketball begins its 2019-20 season with a home opener against Notre Dame.
With the game being broadcast on the new ACC Network, it will be the rare instance of Carolina opening its season with an ACC conference game.
Carolina will be without Brandon Robinson, who suffered an ankle injury in UNC’s exhibition win over Winston-Salem State. Team spokesman Steve Kirschner says there is no timetable for Robinson’s return, but that X-rays show the ankle is not broken.
North Carolina is currently a 10 1/2 point favorite over Notre Dame at the time of publishing.

What if I don’t have cable?
A live stream will be available on ESPN’s digital platforms through the ACC Network.
Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry the new ACC Network.
YouTube TV prices at $50/month and carries all of ESPN’s channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc.) as well as the ACC Network. YouTube TV does not offer NFL Network or NFL Red Zone for pro sports fans.
Playstation Vue prices out similarly at $50/month and carries ESPN and the ACC Network. Vue also carries NFL Network and NFL Red Zone. A key note here: you don’t need to own a Playstation 4 to use Playstation Vue.
Hulu TV goes for $45/month and includes all ESPN channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network or NFL Red Zone.
Sling TV is the cheapest at $25/month, but includes the fewest channels. Make sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
