UNC Football Chases First-Ever Win Against Undefeated Cal in Week 8 ACC Clash
17 Oct
Summary
- UNC's second game in 30 days after loss to Clemson
- Cal holds 2-0 all-time record against UNC football
- North Carolina struggling to score, Cal 4-2 on the season

On October 18, 2025, the North Carolina Tar Heels football team will travel to California to take on the undefeated Golden Bears in a crucial ACC matchup. This will be UNC's second game in the last 30 days, following their loss to Clemson at home.
The Tar Heels have never beaten Cal, who hold a 2-0 all-time record against the program. The last time these two teams met was in 2018, when Cal walked away with a 24-17 victory. North Carolina has failed to score more than 14 points in two of their three losses this season, and their offense has struggled to find consistency.
In contrast, Cal enters the game with a 4-2 record on the year. If the Golden Bears can maintain possession and avoid turnovers, they should have a clear path to victory at home. The Tar Heels will need to find a way to get their offense on track if they hope to finally secure their first-ever win against this formidable opponent.
