Get ready for another night under the lights at Kenan Stadium.

UNC's November 14 matchup against Louisville will officially be a night game, though Tar Heel fans will have to wait a little longer to learn the exact kickoff time.

The game will kick off at 7 or 7:30 p.m. ET, with the exact start time and television network to be determined after this weekend's ACC action.

Regardless of which time gets selected, Kenan Stadium is getting another primetime atmosphere.

UNC and Louisville are headed for a night game in Chapel Hill

Remember when it felt like UNC couldn't escape the noon window?

Yeah, those days appear to be over.

After playing their first five games of the season at noon, the Tar Heels' schedule has taken quite a turn.

North Carolina traveled to Duke for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff, then returned to Kenan Stadium for back-to-back 7:30 p.m. games against Syracuse and No. 1 Miami.

Now, another night game is officially on the way.

Louisville will travel to Chapel Hill on November 14 for the Cardinals' first visit to Kenan Stadium since 2017.

The exact kickoff time and television network remain undecided because the ACC and its television partners will wait until after this weekend's games to make the final designation. We do know it will be either 7 or 7:30 PM EST, which is good since it's within the same hour (allowing fans to plan ahead).

The Tar Heels will first have some business to take care of away from home, as Bill Belichick's squad travels to UConn this Saturday for a noon kickoff.

After that, it's back to Chapel Hill for a third-consecutive night game at Kenan Stadium.

So much for the "Noon Guys!"
