Updated Oct. 29, 2026, after Week 7. We update results and kickoff times after every game.
Here’s the full New England Patriots 2026 schedule, with results so far, kickoff times in Eastern time, TV channels and venues. The Patriots are 4-3 and second in the AFC East after seven games. They play 8 games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, plus an international game in Munich, Germany, on Nov. 15.
Quick explainer: Kickoff times for the last two weeks are “TBD” because the NFL sets late-season times about two weeks out to get the best matchups on TV.
