While Tom Brady has now completed two seasons as an NFL color commentator for Fox, the New England Patriots legend has never been back to Foxborough as a broadcaster. That will change in 2026.
The NFL released its full 2026 schedule on Thursday night, and it was revealed that the Patriots will host the Green Bay Packers in Week 9 on Sunday, Nov. 9.
That’s in the “America’s Game of the Week” 4:25 p.m. kickoff window on Fox, and that means the network’s A-team of Brady and play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt will be on the call, with Erin Andrews serving as the sideline reporter.
It will mark the first time Brady has called a Patriots game at all as a broadcaster.
Brady won six of his seven Super Bowl titles as a superstar quarterback for the Patriots and played for the team from 2000 through 2019.
While this will be his first time back in Foxborough as a broadcaster, Brady returned there last August (and roasted the New York Jets) when the Patriots unveiled a 12-foot statue to honor him and his No. 12.
Ahead of the Patriots’ Super Bowl LX appearance vs. the Seattle Seahawks, Brady made waves when he said, “I don’t have a dog in the fight in this one… May the best team win… I just wanna see good football.” His decision not to take a rooting interest irritated many of his former teammates.
