The Charlotte 49ers, who are making their debut in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) this fall as a member of Conference USA, have announced the scheduling of a home-and-home series with North Carolina in 2024 and 2025.



Charlotte will play at North Carolina, Sept. 7, 2024 and the Tar Heels will return the trip to Charlotte's Jerry Richardson Stadium, Sept. 6, 2025.

"We are excited that we are able to announce this series, both for our program and our fans," said 49ers Director of Athletics Judy Rose . "This is another step in the many that we have taken in the development of our program. With our move to the FBS and into Conference USA, we have continued to upgrade our schedule. Today is another important step."

This is the second home-and-home series that the 49ers have scheduled with an ACC opponent and the second home-and-home scheduled with a Power Five Conference member. The 49ers will face Duke on the road in 2020 and at home in 2021.

Charlotte's first game against an ACC opponent will be in next year's season-opener at Louisville. The 49ers have non-conference games against Power Five opponents scheduled for each of their first seven seasons in the FBS, The Duke home game in 2021 and the North Carolina home game in 2025 are the first Power Five games schedule at home.

Charlotte travels to Kentucky this season and make trips to Louisville, Kansas State, Tennessee and Clemson in the years preceding the Duke series.

The 49ers host Presbyterian, Saturday at noon in the first home game of the 2015 season. In their FBS debut, last Friday, the 49ers defeated Georgia State in the Georgia Dome, 23-20.
