Retour
Tom Brady is back at Gillette Stadium.
No, not as a player. This time he's broadcasting the game between the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers.
It marks the first trip to Foxboro as an announcer for Brady, who is in his third season working for FOX.
The franchise spent the pregame honoring the 10-year anniversary of the 2016 team that won Super Bowl LI against the Falcons. Brady's best years, of course, came as a player came on that field for the Patriots.
He made plenty of memories at Gillette Stadium, including winning the six AFC Championship Games there and winning a remarkable 135 of 158 starts (including playoffs) from the 2002 opening to his final season as a Patriot in 2019.
Brady returned to Gillette Stadium once as a visiting player with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021, defeating his former head coach Bill Belichick's team 19-17. He was at the stadium again in 2023 for the Patriots' season-opener, when he was honored following his retirement.
In June of 2024, the franchise again welcomed Brady back for his Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony -- followed by a statue unveiling in August of 2025. Before the Patriots-Packers game, Brady attended former teammate Rob Gronkowski's own induction ceremony on Saturday.

Brady's latest trip is especially important for the Patriots now that they have an established new quarterback in Drake Maye. The franchise cycled through a few options in the post-Brady era, but none have performed quite like Maye has.
Here's a look at some of the scenes during warm-ups as Brady chatted with Maye and others:
