The Bill Belichick era in Chapel Hill kicks off with a non-conference tilt against Big-12 foe TCU, a game that will serve as a strong challenge for the UNC football program to begin the 2025 season.

Coming off a 9-win season, the Horned Frogs come to Chapel Hill for the first time ever, hoping to spoil Belichick's debut with the program. While these two programs have never met previously on the gridiron, they will play for consecutive seasons starting this year, with next year's battle slated to be held in Dublin, Ireland.
