The North Carolina Tar Heels football team meets the Charlotte 49ers on Saturday (3:30 p.m., ACC Network) in the 2024 home opener at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill.
It'll be the first meeting between UNC and Charlotte on the football field and Conner Harrell's first home start for the Tar Heels. The Tar Heels are looking for their seventh straight win in a home opener.
Despite losing quarterback Max Johnson to a season-ending injury in a 19-17 win at Minnesota , the Tar Heels (1-0) leaned on running back Omarion Hampton and a revamped defense to start the year with a road win against a Big Ten opponent.
The 49ers (0-1), who played their first season in 2013, started the season with a 30-7 loss to James Madison in Charlotte last week. Following its game against the 49ers, UNC faces NC Central and the Dukes in Chapel Hill before starting ACC play with a trip to Durham to face Duke in the battle for the Victory Bell.
