While fans anxiously await the 2025-2026 non-conference schedule to drop, they got a small tidbit to add to the anticipation. It was announced that the Tar Heels will be participating in the 2025 Cancun Challenge from November 27-29 at the Hard Rock Hotel Maya Rivera.

North Carolina isn't a stranger to destination tournaments. Last season, the Tar Heels won the Battle 4 Atlantis, an event held in the Bahamas.
