It’s week 13 of the NCAAF season, and the Tar Heels will host the NC State Wolfpack in a rivalry game with College Football Playoff implications. Here is how to watch the 3:30 EST Friday kickoff on ABC live without cable.
There are several options for live streaming North Carolina Tar Heels football, often in a free trial. Under the current ACC TV contract with ESPN, which runs through 2036, Tar Heel football games will usually appear on only five channels: ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ACC Network, and ESPNU. Some “smaller” Tar Heel games may also air on CBS Sports Network, local regional sports networks, and ESPN+.

Although many live TV streaming services carry the channels you need to watch ACC football, fuboTV is our top pick because the service is easy to setup, carries the ACC Network in the base package, and with the “follow your favorite teams feature” the app can be tailored to watching the Tar Heels specifically. Many of our readers come to our site looking to get a game on fast. We estimate most North Carolina sports fans will be able to get fuboTV up and running in under 10 minutes.
While the Hulu + Live TV setup process isn’t as intuitive to setup as fuboTV, and starts with only 50 hours of DVR storage, the service does carry both the ACC Network and ESPNU in the base package which makes it a great choice for watching Tar Heels football.
North Carolina football isn’t broadcast on Bally Sports Carolinas, but if you are looking for a live TV streaming service that allows you to stream the Carolina Hurricanes, or depending on location, the Atlanta Braves, then DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” (Try DIRECTV STREAM for free) is your best option. The “Choice” package is expensive, but it is the only live TV streaming service that carries the Bally Sports regional sports networks.
