Want to watch the UNC-Duke college football game on TV? Here’s how to find it

North Carolina and Duke renew their rivalry on the gridiron with both teams entering Saturday’s football game in Kenan Stadium from polar opposite viewpoints.

The Tar Heels (2-2, 1-2 ACC) are playing their first game this season as an unranked team after last week’s 45-22 loss to Georgia Tech dropped them from both polls. They’re a bit bruised while trying to find answers for what has gone wrong so far.

The Blue Devils (3-1, 0-0) have won three straight -- including two against Power 5 conference foes Northwestern and Kansas -- and have restored their confidence after the season-opening loss against Charlotte.

The Victory Bell is on the line as Carolina looks to change its season narrative and the Blue Devils aim to continue their climb.

Saturday’s UNC-Duke game will be broadcast on ESPN2.
