No. 1 North Carolina (9-0-4) will take the short drive down Tobacco Rd. to take on long-time rivals No. 22 Duke (5-4-2) this Sunday, Oct. 8 at 4 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast nationally on ACC Network and ESPN+.
Sunday’s top-25 throwdown will be the 52nd meeting between the programs. The Tar Heels lead the past ten matchups with a 6-1-3 record — their most recent game was the semifinals of last year’s ACC Championship where a nil-nil game ended in a PK decider to the Heels. The Blue Blood rivalry is well-known as one of the country’s fiercest clashes and last year’s semifinal encounter resulted in two red card ejections and two yellow cards.
