Patriots release schedule for 2026 season

The New England Patriots unveiled their 2026 season schedule Thursday night.

 

The season will kick off with a Super Bowl LX rematch between the Patriot and the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday, Sept. 9.

 

The rare Wednesday-night game will be the first Week 1 Super Bowl rematch since 2016, when the Denver Broncos hosted the Carolina Panthers. It will also mark the first time the Patriots will open the season against the Seahawks.

 

The Patriots will play two Thursday Night Football games this year against the Chicago Bears on Oct. 22 and the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 10.

 

New England will also play their sixth international game when they travel to Germany to face the Detroit Lions.
