Where is today's UNC football game versus Minnesota airing on? When and how the Week 1 game will air on TV

The North Carolina Tar Heels kick off their 2024 college football season against the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, airing on FOX. The game will be played at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.


This marks the start of the sixth season for head coach Mack Brown in his second stint with UNC, but the team will be without former quarterbacks Sam Howell and Drake Maye. Either Conner Harrell or Max Johnson will take the starting role at quarterback, while UNC brings back standout players like running back Omarion Hampton and pass rusher Kaimon Rucker.


The Tar Heels and Golden Gophers met for the first time last season, with UNC securing a 31-13 win at Kenan Stadium.


For those looking to watch, the game will be broadcast nationally on FOX, with Jason Benetti and Brock Huard calling the action and Allison Williams reporting from the sidelines. Streaming options are available through FUBO, which offers a free trial for new users. Fans can also tune in to the Tar Heel Sports Network with Jones Angell, Bryn Renner, Joe Jauch, and Lee Pace on the radio call.


While UNC has struggled in nonconference road openers, the Golden Gophers aren't unbeatable. Running back Omarion Hampton, who rushed for 46 yards against Minnesota last year, could be the key player to watch as UNC aims to win on the road.
