Which ACC opponent are you most excited to watch the Tar Heels play?
Thanks to extensive activity in the transfer portal alone, there’s plenty of anticipation for the North Carolina Tar Heels’ 2025-2026 basketball season.
UNC reinforced its roster with five portal additions, none more impactful than 7-foot Arizona transfer Henri Veesaar. North Carolina also added hometown kid Jarin Stevenson, who played his first two collegiate seasons at Alabama, projected starting point guard Kyan Evans, plus a pair of shooting guards in Jonathan Powell and Jaydon Young.
With all the offseason excitement so far, you’re probably wondering when the Tar Heels will release their full schedule. Good news: we have a sneak peek for you.
On Wednesday, May 28, UNC announced their ACC opponents for the 2025-2026 college basketball season. North Carolina will host and travel to two opponents: Syracuse and archrival Duke.
The Tar Heels’ home-only opponents will be Pitt, Florida State, Clemson, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Louisville and Notre Dame, while the Tar Heels will only travel to Cal, Stanford, SMU, Miami (FL), Georgia Tech, NC State and Virginia.
At first glance, I’m shocked UNC isn’t hosting NC State or Virginia. Those are two of North Carolina’s biggest rivals – and always highly-attended at the Dean Dome. It will be the first time in over 100 years that the Tar Heels won’t play the Wolfpack twice in the regular season.
The Tar Heels also don’t play Boston College once, which comes as a surprise to me.
UNC hosted both Cal and Stanford last season, so traveling to the Golden State makes sense. North Carolina hosted and traveled to Duke, NC State and Pitt, but not hosting the Wolfpack this upcoming season is confusing.
I’m intrigued to see how the Tar Heels’ newest roster additions impact their success on the court. Will any new kids make names for themselves as ACC basketball legends?
