TCU and North Carolina are set to play their 2026 season opener in Ireland as part of the Aer Lingus College Football Classic at Aviva Stadium in Dublin on August 29, 2026. This event occurs a year after coach Bill Belichick's debut with the Tar Heels against TCU. TCU will be the home team for this historic matchup, which aims to enhance TCU's brand globally while providing student-athletes with unique experiences. TCU and North Carolina were originally scheduled for a game in Fort Worth, Texas.
"It's a tremendous opportunity for our program and we're excited to represent the university and our fans on an international stage," Belichick said.
"This is more than just a football game. It's an opportunity to advance TCU's brand globally while having our student-athletes experience a unique educational opportunity and memory of a lifetime," TCU athletic director Mike Buddie said.
