- Schedule information for UNC football at 2025 ACC Kickoff
The start of college football season is about to get a lot closer for UNC on Thursday, as Bill Belichick and four of his players will be in Charlotte, N.C. for the ACC Kickoff Event.
There's no set definition of what the ACC Kickoff is, but it's essentially the public's first chance to watch ACC football programs speak before the upcoming season. North Carolina will be one of the last teams to take the stage in Charlotte, along with in-state rivals Duke and NC State, with the latter closing out television coverage.

There should be plenty of questions for the Tar Heels , none more important than the offseason decision to hire Belichick as head coach . UNC rebuilt seemingly its entire roster through the transfer portal, particularly on defense, with Marcus Allen and Kaleb Cost amongst the very few, returning projected starters.
North Carolina will be the fifth team to hold its press conference on Thursday. Boston College starts the day, followed by Virginia Tech and Clemson . The Blue Devils take the stage, then it's the Tar Heels turn.
