Game time announced for UNC-James Madison Week 4 college football clash

If you’re planning to attend or watch the UNC-James Madison football game, you can now plan around kickoff time.

The North Carolina Tar Heels are enjoying a 2-0 start to their college football season, with a close win at Minnesota and a closer-than-expected victory against Charlotte in their back pocket.

UNC kicker Noah Burnette played hero in the Week 1 victory, converting all four field goal attempts and his lone extra point try, while the North Carolina offense looked more like its usual self with nearly 500 yards against Charlotte.

The Tar Heels are now preparing to welcoming North Carolina Central, fresh off its first victory of the season, to town on Saturday, Sept. 14 for a 6 p.m. kickoff.

For its third home game in a row – the following weekend on Saturday, Sept. 21 – UNC will host Sun Belt power James Madison. Kickoff time for this battle was previously TBA, but that changed on Monday afternoon.

Just as the clock passed 12 p.m. noon on Monday, Sept. 9, we learned that North Carolina and JMU will start their Week 4 battle at the same time.

This will be the Tar Heels’ first 12 p.m. kickoff of the season. UNC and Charlotte faced off at 3:30 p.m. ET last weekend, then UNC and NC Central kickoff at 6 p.m. ET this coming weekend.

The Dukes, who won their first two games this season (against Charlotte and Gardner-Webb), will enter Chapel Hill fresh off a bye week. JMU last came to Kenan Stadium in 2016, when North Carolina laid down a 56-28 beating.
