Home fieldGillette Stadium

The 2019 New England Patriots season will be the franchise's 50th season in the National Football League, the 60th overall and the 20th under head coach Bill Belichick. They will enter the season as the defending Super Bowl champions after winning Super Bowl LIII, and as three time defending AFC champions. The Patriots will attempt to join the 1990–1993 Buffalo Bills as the only teams to appear in four consecutive Super Bowls and the first team to win seven Super Bowls.

For the first time since 2010, Rob Gronkowski, the team's former starting tight end, will not be on the active roster, as he announced his retirement on March 24, 2019.

Offseason

On February 4, 2019, linebackers coach Brian Flores was hired as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins.[1] The Dolphins also hired wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea to be their offensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach Josh Boyer to serve in that same capacity, as well as be their defensive pass game coordinator.[2]

Defensive line coach Brendan Daly was hired by the Kansas City Chiefs to serve in that same capacity.[3]

In February 2019, it was announced that Greg Schiano was hired to join the Patriots as their defensive coordinator, but prior to the Patriots confirming this report,[4] Schiano unexpectedly resigned from the Patriots on March 28, citing a desire to spend more time on his "faith and family."[5]
