Happy Schedule Day, everyone.

While social media has completely ruined the suspense of the schedule reveal with “leaks” throughout the day, there’s something about seeing the Pats schedule in full that warms every football fan’s heart.

A bit surprisingly, the Patriots have eight “primetime” slots if you include the 4 P.M. and 4:25 P.M. windows or the 9:30 A.M. window when the team plays the Colts in Germany. New England will have three straight 8:10 P.M. or 8:20 P.M. kick offs in December and also play on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

Of course, the team also announced that Week 1’s home opener against Philadelphia will be Tom Brady Day as well. The Patriots have the fourth-toughest schedule in the league this season. Fans are being treated to some great matchups at home and the opportunity for some good road trips as well. The entire schedule is listed below.
