CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – ESPN and the ACC Network have released their initial lineup for the 2026 college baseball season, picking up 10 of the Diamond Heels’ upcoming contests as part of their coverage.
It is already the most regular season linear TV selections in program history, with the chance for more to be added with the wildcard spots still available. Carolina sits tied with Clemson for the most 2026 TV appearances in the conference.
The Sunday matchup between the Tar Heels and the Tigers will be shown on ESPN2 with nine more UNC contests set for air on the ACC Network.
The remainder of the team’s home and conference games will be hosted on ACC Extra. Five “Wildcard” spots have been reserved in the final two weeks of the regular season with those designations to be decided later in the season.
