The Patriots will open the season against the Miami Dolphins at home, but the headliner of their 2021 slate is the return of Tom Brady as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which will take place in Week 4 (Oct. 3) on Sunday Night Football.
New England will also have a late bye week this year, with that taking place in Week 14, and will play nine home games in the first year of the 17-game, 18-week schedule.
Other intriguing matchups include a potential return for quarterback Cam Newton to Carolina (Week 9) and a primetime showdown with the reigning AFC East champion Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football (Week 16).
