Tar Heel fans will get their first look at the 2021 UNC football team during the annual spring game at Kenan Stadium, which will be held this year on April 24.

The game will begin at 3 p.m. and be televised on the ACC Network. Fans will be allowed inside the stadium, with the total capacity dependent on state health regulations at that time.

Spring practice officially opens on March 23 for the Tar Heels, who are returning 21 of 22 players who started in January’s Orange Bowl loss to Texas A&M.

Head coach Mack Brown will have a bonafide superstar at quarterback in junior Sam Howell, while also bringing in a recruiting class ranked among the top 15 in the country.
