ORLANDO (UCFKnights.com) - The first game time of the 2018 season has been set. UCF's Sept. 15 contest at North Carolina will be played at noon in Chapel Hill.

The matchup between the Knights and the Tar Heels will be broadcast on either ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU, with the exact network to be named at a later date.

The Sept. 15 game will be the third for UCF under new head coach Josh Heupel. The Knights open up on the road with an American Athletic Conference contest at UConn on Thursday, Aug. 30 and then host South Carolina State on Saturday, Sept. 8, before making their way to Carolina.

UCF is coming off of an undefeated 13-0 National Championship season, having won its third conference title in the last five years, and defeating Auburn in the 2018 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl for its second New Year's Six Bowl win since the 2014.

The Knights will play at Spectrum Stadium seven times in 2018, hosting Florida Atlantic, Pittsburgh, SMU, Temple, Navy and Cincinnati. UCF's three remaining road games are at Memphis, East Carolina and South Florida.
