The 49ers' 2025 debut marks a first for the school: playing at Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers. On Aug. 29, Charlotte will play Appalachian State University at the NFL stadium, kicking off at 7 p.m. on the Friday of Labor Day weekend. It's part of the annual Duke's Mayo Classic series of early-season college football games. ESPNU will air the game, which brings more of a spotlight because the schedule is much busier on Aug. 28 (the day before) and Aug. 30 (the day after).
