Tom Brady returns to Foxborough as broadcaster

Former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady returned to Gillette Stadium on November 8, 2026, to serve as a broadcaster for the Week 9 matchup between the Patriots and the Green Bay Packers. Working alongside Kevin Burkhardt for Fox Sports, Brady expressed gratitude to the New England community, stating, “I just can't thank everyone enough for the love and support over 20 years here, and I feel like I'm the luckiest man alive to play for this unbelievable community.”

The weekend served as a significant celebration of Patriots history. Rob Gronkowski was inducted as the 38th member of the New England Patriots Hall of Fame, and the franchise honored the 2016 Super Bowl LI championship team. During the broadcast, Brady appeared on “The Gronk & Jules Show,” a digital sports talk show hosted by former teammates Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski, where he discussed Gronkowski’s impact on the team and his own career.

In a commemorative moment, Topps produced a live “Topps NOW” trading card during the game, which Brady signed in the broadcast booth with the inscription, “Back in Foxboro LFG.”
