The ACC announced the 2016 football schedules Tuesday, and defending Coastal Division champion North Carolina will host six games at Kenan Stadium, including the season finally versus N.C. State on a Friday.

The Tar Heels' first two games are on the road and three of their first five are away from Chapel Hill versus Georgia, Illinois and Florida State. UNC makes two trips to Florida and the game at Duke is again on a Thursday night, just like two years ago.

The Tar Heels currently have two FCS schools on the schedule - James Madison and The Citadel - but the school is looking to replace one of those games with an FBS opponent.

Here is UNC's 2016 football schedule:

Sept. 3 - Georgia (Georgia Dome in Atlanta)

Sept. 10 - @ Illinois

Sept. 17 - James Madison

Sept. 24 - Pittsburgh

Oct. 1 - @ Florida State

Oct. 8 - Virginia Tech

Oct. 29 - Open Date

Nov. 5 - Georgia Tech

Nov. 10 - @ Duke (Thursday night)
