The New England Patriots already know their [2026 opponents](/new-england-patriots-schedule/117595/nfl-opponents-2026-afc-east-home-away-matchups), and have done so since the end of the regular season in January. What they do not know yet, however, is when they will play all of them.
With the NFL Draft in the rear view mirror and the calendar having turned to May, that mystery will soon come to an end. Even though no date for the release has been announced by the league just yet, it should come later this month and again be turned into a primetime event.
Before said event, the schedule release is traditionally preceded by plenty of leaks, rumors and prior announcements. In order to stay on top of things and up to date with credible information, we have set up our _Pats Pulpit Schedule Release Tracker_.

**3/30:** The Patriots will hold joint practices with the Eagles this summer, suggesting that they will play a preseason game that very well might be dubbed the “A.J. Brown Bowl.” | [Source](/new-england-patriots-preseason/125094/patriots-to-hold-joint-practices-with-eagles-this-summer)
