UNC men’s basketball schedule is complete. Here’s who the Tar Heels play and when
Hubert Davis has had quite the week, from hosting five-star recruit AJ Dybantsa over the weekend and kicking off the Tar Heels’ first official practice of the 2024-25 season on Monday.
Now North Carolina’s path forward is officially set.
The ACC released full schedules for all 18 men’s basketball teams on Tuesday night, revealing UNC’s slate that includes at least 10 games against teams that made last season’s NCAA Tournament.
Many of those will come in the nonconference season, with marquee neutral-site games against Florida and UCLA, a home game against Alabama and a road game at Kansas.
The Tar Heels will be tested with the departure of starters like graduate center Armando Bacot and wing Cormac Ryan.
Davis has added transfers Cade Tyson and Ven-Allen Lubin to enhance shooting and bolster the frontcourt, and the Tar Heels also welcome three highly-rated first-year players, including five-star recruits Ian Jackson and Drake Powell.
Powell and Jackson, with the return of All-American and ACC Player of the Year RJ Davis and freshman standout Elliot Cadeau, should establish one of the most dynamic three-guard lineups in the conference.
Here’s a look at UNC’s entire schedule:
UNC’s can’t-miss basketball game
North Carolina and Kansas, two bluebloods of college basketball, will meet in a highly anticipated home-and-home series starting this season.
The first game is set for Nov. 8, at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas, followed by a matchup at the Dean E. Smith Center in Chapel Hill on November 14, 2025. Historically, the series is tied at 6-6, with Kansas winning the last four encounters — including the 2022 NCAA Championship game.
Both programs boast rich histories, with the Jayhawks leading all-time victories in college basketball. This series will add another chapter to their storied rivalry.
