Patriots set 13 open practices for 2026 training camp, beginning July 25

The New England Patriots will open their 2026 training camp with 13 practices available to the public, beginning July 25 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern, the team announced. Veterans will report to camp on July 24, setting up the first session of the summer the following day.

According to the Patriots’ camp announcement circulated by Yahoo Sports, the July 25 practice is scheduled as the first of the 13 open sessions. All of the public practices will be held on outdoor fields at the team’s facility adjacent to Gillette Stadium, keeping the action in the same location throughout the camp window.

The structure matters for how fans and media get their first look at the Patriots’ offseason work. Open practices typically provide a limited glimpse into day-to-day themes, such as timing in early-season installations, communication between position groups, and how the coaching staff runs practice tempo and situational work.

For the Patriots, the July schedule also functions as an extended checkpoint for the roster as players move from offseason programs into full-squad conditioning and scheme execution. With veterans reporting on July 24 and the first open practice landing the next morning, New England will essentially begin the public portion of camp right after the initial arrival and setup period.

The announcement does not outline competitive details such as specific practice content for each day, but the timing of the open slate suggests the team intends to maintain consistent access across multiple sessions. For supporters who attend camp in person, that can translate into a broader view than a single open workout, rather than concentrating all access into one early date.

What to watch next is how the Patriots sequence their early public practices, since teams commonly use the first weeks to establish fundamental rhythm before tightening execution later in camp. With 13 open practices on the calendar, New England’s early days should offer a clearer read on how quickly groups are syncing up as full-speed work ramps up.
