In this work we study the chiral phase transition as observed by anaccelerating observer taking into account the Unruh effect. We use ChiralPerturbation Theory at leading order and the large $N$ limit ($N$ being thenumber of pions) as an effective description of low-energy QCD, and theThermalization Theorem to compute the relevant partition function for theaccelerating observer. As a result, we obtain that chiral symmetry is restoredfor uniformly accelerated observers with acceleration $a$ larger than thecritical value $a_c=4\pi f_\pi$, with $f_\pi$ being the pion decay constant.
