UNC football looks to win its first bowl game since 2014 after finishing the regular season with a 6-6 record. The Tar Heels will face the Temple Owls (8-4) of the American Athletic Conference in the Military Bowl presented by Northrup Grumman.

Kickoff Time

Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. from the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, MD.

Broadcast Schedule

97.9 The Hill is broadcasting every North Carolina football game this season.

Our coverage of UNC vs. Temple begins at 9 a.m. with the InsideCarolina.com Countdown to Kickoff show. At 11 a.m., our broadcast will switch to the UNC football pre-game show.

Following the game, 97.9 The Hill will carry an hour long post-game wrap-up show followed by “On the Heels.”

You can find our broadcast of the game on 97.9 FM and 1360 AM or streaming online on Chapelboro.com.

TV Schedule

The game will be broadcast on ESPN. As of today, Spectrum, Dish and DirectTV all carry ESPN and the ACC Network.

What if I don’t have cable?

A live stream will be available on ESPN’s digital platforms.

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.
