The Patriots open camp on Wednesday, July 23, and we have everything you need to know about it.

After what has been another whirlwind of an offseason for the New England Patriots, the team of new head coach Mike Vrabel will ramp up its preparation for the upcoming 2025 season. On Wednesday, July 23, they will kick off their training camp.

Over the next few weeks, the team will gradually increase the intensity and competition to get ready for the start of the regular season in early September. At that point, the roster will also have been reduced from currently 91 to 53 players.

Before any of that becomes relevant, however, the team will hold 13 practices open to the public. To be as best informed as possible, here is our annual and updated Patriots Training Camp Guide.
