Bill Belichick will make his college football coaching debut on Monday, September 1 when the North Carolina Tar Heels take on the TCU Horned Frogs.
Kickoff for the game is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.
The Patriots legend will be entering his first season in Chapel Hill. There have been questions regarding his contract status with the team considering multiple NFL head coaching jobs have opened. However, he officially signed a five-year deal with the Tar Heels on Wednesday.
Now, he will be looking to shift his focus to college football and taking over a program coming off a 6-6 season and a loss to Connecticut in the Wasabi Fenway Bowl.

Belichick embarking on his first head coaching gig at the collegiate level will be a must-watch.
On the other end, the Patriots are undergoing a new chapter of their own with Mike Vrabel taking over as the head coach and lead decision-maker on personnel. It’ll be a new era for New England and North Carolina in 2025.
