The New England Patriots kick off the 2025 NFL season on Sunday, September 7. They’ll open at home against the Las Vegas Raiders at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
The regular season ends with another home game. This one is against the Miami Dolphins. It will be played on Saturday, January 3 or Sunday, January 4. The final date and time will come later.
This year starts a new chapter for the Patriots. Mike Vrabel takes over as head coach. He’s a former Patriots linebacker and won three Super Bowls with the team. He got the job in January after the team let go of Jerod Mayo.
The team wants to turn things around. They finished 4–13 the last two seasons. That’s tough. Now they’re focused on getting back to the playoffs. Quarterback Drake Maye is in his second year. He’ll lead the offense. Linebacker Josh Uche and defensive lineman Matthew Judon are two key players on defense.
