The New England Patriots play their home games in Foxborough, Massachusetts, between Boston and Providence, at Gillette Stadium, which opened in 2002 and has an open-air design. The Patriots compete in the AFC East, so the six division games each season come against the same three rivals, home and away. Late-season home games can be cold or wet, so check the forecast before you go. Kickoff times and TV channels for late-season games are often set only a few weeks ahead, so check the schedule below before planning around a game.
