The game will be played at Truist Field at Wake Forest University and will be televised nationally on ESPN.

The Tar Heels and Demon Deacons have met 117 times on the gridiron, with UNC holding a 68-43-6 advantage in the series. The two schools have played every year since 1933, making it one of the longest-running rivalries in college football.

The game will be played in front of a sold-out crowd at Truist Field. The atmosphere is sure to be electric, as both teams will be looking to make a statement in the ACC race.
