The ACC announced Monday that next week’s football game between UNC and No. 24 Virginia Tech at Kenan Stadium will start at approximately 7 p.m.

It will mark the second straight nationally televised prime-time game for the Tar Heels, who lost to No. 16 Miami 48-10 this past Thursday–and have this week off to prepare for the Hokies.

UNC currently sits at 1-3 (1-1 ACC) in 2018, while Virginia Tech is 3-1 with a 2-0 record against conference opponents.
