How to watch UNC’s first game of the 2024 college football season

After waiting for what seemed like forever, are you finally ready to watch your North Carolina Tar Heels take the football field?

That waiting stops tonight, as UNC faces Minnesota at 8 p.m. ET in Huntington Bank Stadium. North Carolina won a 31-13, Week 3 clash last year in Kenan Stadium, but it’s the Golden Gophers’ turn to host in 2024.

There’s so much to watch for on the Tar Heels’ 2024 roster: a new starting quarterback, number one wide receiver, offensive line and an experienced defense. UNC also hired Geoff Collins as its new defensive coordinator in the offseason, with hopes the former Georgia Tech head coach can turn around a unit amongst the FBS’ worst.

North Carolina needs a victory tonight in the worst way. Beating Minnesota would showcase two things: the Tar Heels can win in tough road environments, plus compete with Power 4 schools.
