After an usual offseason, UNC is ready to take the field against Syracuse on Saturday for Tar Heels’ first game of the 2020 college football season.
The coronavirus pandemic has altered the landscape of college football immensely. The Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences have opted to postpone their seasons due to the pandemic, leaving the ACC, SEC and Big 12 as the remaining Power 5 conferences to play. The college football season has already begun, but with the COVID-19 pandemic, things can change at a moment’s notice.

Mack Brown has praised his team for coming together and staying safe during the pandemic, saying they’ve embraced the “bubble” mentality that is required to get through this season.
Chapel Hill will also look very different on gameday. Fans are not allowed in the stands at football games or other athletic events at least through September. Tailgating is also forbidden on campus. Although there will be no crowd noise, music will be played in the stadium between plays, something Brown said gives the game an atmosphere of a scrimmage rather than a real competition.
Kickoff Time
Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. from Chapel Hill. No fans will be allowed in the stands at Kenan Stadium and tailgating on UNC’s campus is forbidden.
