UNC will kickoff its home slate when it hosts App State on Saturday, Sept. 9. This will be the third game in the last five years between the two in-state foes. The Mountaineers won in Kenan Stadium in 2019, while the Tar Heels returned the favor in Boone last season.
Carolina welcomes Minnesota to Kenan Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 16 for the first leg of a home-and-home series. This is the first meeting between the Tar Heels and the Golden Gophers.

Following an open date on Sept. 30, Carolina will host three consecutive home games against Syracuse (Oct. 7), Miami (Oct. 14) and Virginia (Oct. 21).

The South’s Oldest Rivalry returns to Chapel Hill with Carolina holding a 66-57-4 edge over Virginia, including two consecutive victories for the Tar Heels.
On Sept. 28, UNC will head to Atlanta to take on Georgia Tech followed by a home date with Campbell on Nov. 4.
