According to Brandon Marcello of Auburn Undercover, Auburn and North Carolina are close to finalizing a deal to play a neutral-site game in 2020. The game would be part of the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game, and would be played during the second week of the season in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
If finalized, Auburn will have scheduled a Power 5 non-conference team for each season until 2024. North Carolina would be added to a list of opponents that include Washington, Oregon, Penn State and Cal.
The last time the Tigers played the Tar Heels, Auburn lost 16-10 in the 2001 Peach Bowl.
