Want to watch the NC State, UCLA football game on TV? Here’s how to find it

Updated: Hours before N.C. State was scheduled to take on UCLA in the Holiday Bowl, the game was called off. For more, read this developing story.

The wait is finally over.

It’s been more than a month since N.C. State has played a football game. The Wolfpack will try to win its third straight game when it takes on UCLA in the Holiday Day Bowl in San Diego.

No. 18 N.C. State (9-3) is on the brink of a 10-win season, which would make the 2021 team the second in school history to win double-digit games.

The Bruins (8-4) look to play spoiler. The contest is just the third meeting between the two schools and the second time the Pack has played a team from the Pac-12 under Dave Doeren.

“To be in a bowl game that our conference has played in,” Doeren said, “It’s been a great experience.”

N.C. State will look to snap a two-game bowl losing streak. Under Doeren, the Pack is 3-3 in bowl games. Last year in Jacksonville, at the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, the team didn’t get the full bowl experience, traveling down the night before. The team took in the full bowl game experience this week in San Diego before getting to work.

“This team was almost a continuation of last year’s team,” Doeren said. “It’s really been kind of a two-year season.”

The UCLA and N.C. State game will be played on FOX.
