It’s NFL schedule release day, which the league has turned into a major annual event to fill what would normally be a dead time in May.
What will the New England Patriots’ 2025 schedule look like? We won’t fully know until the primetime schedule release announcement Wednesday night at 8 p.m. EDT
We already know who the Patriots will be playing. Now, it’s a matter of seeing which games will be when – and if there are any unusual days or start times.
Here’s what we know so far about the Patriots, according to the latest reports and NFL schedule leaks:
-- The Patriots will host the Carolina Panthers in Week 4, according to Joe Person of The Athletic.
