Patriots Schedule Live Tracker: Rumors, Reports Before NFL Reveal

Get ready to mark your calendars, Patriots fans, because the NFL is taking over the week yet again.

The league will reveal its official 2025 season schedule Wednesday night, but will announce select games through NFL broadcast partners throughout the week. NBC, FOX and Prime Video all will announce matchups Monday before ESPN (Tuesday), CBS (Wednesday) and Netflix (Wednesday) also take part in the prolonged production.

With that, Patriots fans likely will learn of select matchups before the full announcement so we’ve compiled a Patriots Schedule Live Tracker for the latest reports and rumors.

But first, here’s a refresher on New England’s opponents in 2025:

Home: Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers

Away: Baltimore Ravens, Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Dolphins, New Orleans Saints, Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans
