The busiest stretch for college spring football action will come this weekend (April 11-12), with nearly half of North Carolina’s programs holding some type of intrasquad scrimmage or showcase event.

Some schools will hold bona fide games with scoring, while others – like UNC and Elon – will treat the day more like an open practice with scrimmage elements.

This weekend also marks the first look at five North Carolina college teams with new head coaches heading into 2025 – North Carolina (Bill Belichick), Appalachian State (Dowell Loggains), North Carolina A&T (Shawn Gibbs), Davidson (Saj Thakkar) and Shaw (Lamar Manigo).

The action kicks off with four games on Friday evening, followed by a full slate throughout the day Saturday. Here is the complete weekend schedule, featuring games involving teams from the FBS, FCS and Division II ranks.
