Championship schedule
The best‑of‑three showdown will unfold over three evenings, with Game 1 slated for Saturday at 8 p.m. Eastern, Game 2 on Sunday at 2:30 p.m., and a potential Game 3 on Monday at 7 p.m., should the series extend.
The Tar Heels have arrived at the pinnacle of college baseball, securing a spot in the Men’s College World Series championship Series against the Oklahoma Sooners. It marks the first time since 2007 that UNC has reached the final round, and the team is hungry for its inaugural national championship.
Broadcast and streaming landscape
Both contests will be televised nationally, with ESPN handling the Saturday and Monday broadcasts and ABC airing the Sunday afternoon game. The network’s reach ensures that millions of viewers can follow the action live.
For cord‑cutters, the games are also accessible through a suite of streaming platforms. The ESPN app and ESPN.com will simulcast the telecasts, while YouTube TV, Hulu TV and Sling TV each provide a bundle that includes the required channels.
YouTube TV carries the full ESPN lineup, including ABC, for $83 per month, whereas Hulu TV’s comparable package costs $89 monthly and lacks NBA TV and the NFL RedZone channel. Sling TV offers the most budget‑friendly option at $46 per month for its Orange package, which includes ESPN but not ABC.
Fans can therefore choose a service that aligns with their viewing habits and budget, knowing that the championship will be broadcast in high definition across both traditional television and digital streaming.
