What channel is UNC-Arizona on? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Super Regional Opener
What channel is UNC-Arizona on? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Super Regional Opener Here's all the broadcasting information you need to know for Friday's Chapel Hill Super Regional Opener between UNC and Arizona.
There's just 16 teams remaining in the 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament, with UNC lucky enough to be amongst that Sweet 16.
On Friday, in the Chapel Hill Super Regional from Boshamer Stadium, North Carolina will continue its postseason journey against the Arizona Wildcats. Arizona (42-18) swept its way through the Eugene (Ore.) Regional and extended its winning streak to eight games, while the Diamond Heels won the Chapel Hill Regional with a 14-4 drubbing of Oklahoma.
UNC looked well on the way to a sweep of its own Regional, thanks to beating Holy Cross 4-0 and Oklahoma 11-6, but losing Sunday's rematch to the Sooners forced a winner-take-all game Monday.
North Carolina struck early in its third game against the Sooners, with Hunter Stokely mashing a 2-run, 2-out double and Alex Madera grounding a single into the outfield – both in the first inning. Oklahoma responded with its first two runs in the second, only for the Diamond Heels to scoring the four eventual, game-winning runs in the third.
The Wildcats started their hot streak to close out their regular season, taking the final two of three games from the Houston Cougars, to win their final series. Arizona's run continued through the Big 12 Tournament, with victories against BYU (4-1), top-seeded and fellow Super Regional team West Virginia (12-1), plus a 2-1 closeout against TCU in the Championship matchup.
UNC opened its ACC Tournament run with a come-from-behind, 7-2 win over Boston College. North Carolina dispatched Florida State in the semifinals, 7-5, then overwhelmed Clemson with a 14-4 domination in the ACC Championship.

UNC vs. Arizona prediction, picks, odds
Whatever challenged North Carolina faced in the Chapel Hill Regional, it conquered with ease. In Monday's winner-take all game against Oklahoma, the Diamond Heels dominated in a 14-4 victory.
Arizona is red-hot right now, winning its past eight games, but UNC presents a significantly tougher challenge than Utah Valley or Cal Poly. Simultaneously, the Wildcats will present a greater threat than Oklahoma or Holy Cross.
With a packed Boshamer Stadium on Friday afternoon, combined with ace Jake Knapp likely taking the mound, North Carolina squeaks out a low-scoring win in its Super Regional opener.
Score prediction: UNC 4, Arizona 2
