Head coach Jerod Mayo will lead his first regular-season home game at Gillette Stadium in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks on September 15.

Overview of the New England Patriots 2023 Season
The 2023 season marked the New England Patriots’ 54th year in the NFL, their 64th overall, and their 22nd season at Gillette Stadium. It was also the 24th and final season under head coach Bill Belichick.
The Patriots began the season with a 1–5 record, a start they hadn’t seen since 1995. After a Week 12 loss to the New York Giants, they failed to improve upon their 8–9 record from 2022, resulting in back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 1992–1993.
The Patriots missed the playoffs for the second consecutive year and the third time in four seasons, after the Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Colts in Week 14. By Week 17, following a loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Patriots ended the season at the bottom of the AFC East for the first time since 2000, finishing with a 4–13 record—Belichick’s worst season as a head coach and the team’s poorest performance since 1992.
This season also stood out for the absence of safety Devin McCourty, who retired on March 10, 2023, marking the first time since 2009 that he was not on the roster. At the season’s conclusion, Bill Belichick and the Patriots mutually decided to part ways on January 11, 2024.
