Tom Brady is bracing for what he describes as a "certainly emotional" return to Gillette Stadium this weekend, when the former New England Patriots quarterback will be in the FOX Sports broadcast booth for the Green Bay Packers vs. New England Patriots matchup. Brady, who spent 20 seasons with the Patriots and won six Super Bowls in Foxborough, joined FOX as a lead NFL analyst following his retirement.
The game marks Brady's first return to his former home stadium in a broadcasting capacity. He previously visited AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on September 20, 2026, for a Washington Commanders-Dallas Cowboys game as part of his new role with the network. Brady acknowledged the significance of returning to the venue where he built his dynasty, telling reporters he expects the experience to be "teary-eyed."
Since transitioning to broadcasting, Brady has been working alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt as FOX's top NFL commentary team. The Packers-Patriots contest will add another layer of narrative to his post-playing career, as he observes the franchise he led for two decades from a completely new perspective.
