The UNC football team now knows exactly when its first two games will be played, as the ACC and its TV partners released that information on Tuesday.

After going the entire regular season in 2019 without a noon kickoff time, the Tar Heels will open the year at home on Sept. 12 against Syracuse. That game, of course, will start at noon and be shown on the ACC Network.

The following week on Sept. 19, UNC will remain at Kenan Stadium for the program’s first ever meeting with Charlotte–with that game set to start at 3:30 and be televised on the Regional Sports Network.

To this point, these are the only game times that have been set in stone for the Tar Heels.
