TCU vs NC in Dublin Kickoff | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

TCU and North Carolina kick off the 2026 college football season in a high-stakes rematch at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland — the first game of the year and part of the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. Both teams bring new starting quarterbacks: Jaden Craig from Harvard for TCU and Billy Edwards from Wisconsin for UNC. With Bill Belichick returning as UNC’s second-year coach after a rough 4-8 campaign, and TCU aiming for Big 12 contention following two nine-win seasons, this global opener promises drama. The last meeting ended with TCU dominating 48-14 in Belichick’s debut — now they face off on neutral turf in a home-and-home series. Don’t miss it: Saturday, August 29, noon ET.
