Auburn is working towards finalizing a non-conference football game with North Carolina in Atlanta during the 2020 season, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

As currently proposed, the game would be played as a Chick-fil-A Kickoff game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, but it would not be the season opener. Instead, it would be played Week 2 of the season on Sept. 12, 2020.

The Chick-fil-A Kickoff, played in Atlanta on the opening weekend of the season, will feature Florida State against West Virginia on Sept. 5 and Georgia against Virginia on Sept. 7.

Both Auburn and UNC could move games scheduled for 2020 in order to accommodate the game they're working on.

UNC currently is scheduled to play at UCF on Sept. 12, which the source said is "part of the puzzle" to finalizing the game with Auburn, which could move its Nov. 21 game with Alabama A&M up in the schedule.

UPDATE Dec. 13: Peach Bowl president Gary Stokan said there is no update on the negotiations.

"Nothing really to comment on, because there's nothing really done," Stokan said. "We have two games (in 2020). ... We don't have any doubt we can do (a third)."

Auburn Undercover was first to report the negotiations, which if they reached a deal would set Auburn's Power 5 opponents through the 2024 season and all of its non-conference games through 2020, with one opening in 2021 and 2022.

Auburn and UNC have played six times with the Tar Heels holding a 4-2 edge in the all-time series, including winning the last meeting in the 2001 Peach Bowl.
