The New England Patriots’ opponents for the 2022 regular season are already set, but we do not yet know when they will actually square off against them. That all will change on Thursday when the league will officially present its schedule in a primetime event.

At 8 p.m. ET, each team’s home openers will be announced. Two hours later, the full schedule will be released.

The Patriots’ will feature the following teams:

• Home opponents: Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions
• Road opponents: Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Las Vegas Raiders, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals

Before the big reveal, however, there will be plenty of rumors rumors. In order to stay on top of things, we have again set up our Pats Pulpit Schedule Release Tracker. Look no further for all the information that is slowly drizzling out.
