NC State football’s season-opening matchup against East Carolina kicks off in less than a day. A nearly sold-out crowd of almost 50,000 will pack the stands of Dowdy-Ficklen stadium in Greenville, with thousands of fans also tuning in on TV or the radio.

Here’s everything you need to know about finding the game tomorrow.

When does the game start?

East Carolina vs. NC State is a 12 p.m. kickoff— the only noon kickoff on the schedule so far. The Wolfpack’s week-two matchup with Charleston Southern begins at 12:30 p.m.. The only other known kickoff times are Sept. 17 against Texas Tech, a 7:00 p.m. start, and Oct. 27 vs. Virginia Tech at 7:30 p.m..

What television channel is the NC State game on?

If you’re an avid fan of ESPN’s College Gameday weekly morning show, do not change the channel after Lee Corso makes his pick between Notre Dame and Ohio State. NC State’s week-one matchup will be broadcast on ESPN immediately after the show.

Due to that scheduling, pregame coverage of the Wolfpack will not begin until noon. ESPN should be included in most basic cable packages.

Where can I find the NC State game on the radio?
