Foxborough, Mass. – The New England Patriots will unveil a statue honoring legendary quarterback Tom Brady at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, August 8 in the Patriot Place Plaza, adjacent to the Patriots Hall of Fame presented by RTX. During Brady's Hall of Fame induction ceremony last year, Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft announced his intentions of making Brady the first player in franchise history to receive the honor of being immortalized with a bronze statue.

Kraft will host the 15- to 20-minute ceremony and reveal the larger-than-life, 12-foot statue prior to the Patriots' 2025 home game against the Washington Commanders. Following the unveiling, Brady will provide his reaction and address the gathered guests. The ceremony will end with various photo opportunities of Brady with his statue.

Parking lots will open at 3:30 p.m. with stadium gates opening early at 5:00 p.m. to accommodate ticketed fans attending both the game and the ceremony. While ticketed fans are allowed in the plaza for the ceremony, early entry into the stadium will be allowed to ensure optimal viewing of the ceremony on Gillette Stadium's video boards.

Brady's career with the Patriots was nothing short of legendary. Drafted 199th overall in 2000, he rose from sixth-round obscurity to become the face of an NFL dynasty, leading the Patriots to six Super Bowl titles and 17 division championships in 18 seasons as a starter. Renowned for his clutch performances, relentless drive, and exceptional leadership, Brady transformed the Patriots into perennial contenders. His tenure in Foxborough remains one of the most dominant and decorated runs in NFL history. The statue preserves his placement as a "Patriot for life" and enshrines his legacy as the greatest of all time.

The ceremony will be broadcast on the video boards inside Gillette Stadium.

For fans not attending the game, the ceremony will also be streamed on Patriots.com, Patriots official social channels and broadcast locally on WBZ-TV.
