NFL time plan LECK excludes exciting turn for New England Patriots

Well, it looks like the New England Patriots are not going overseas this year.

On Tuesday, the NFL seeped away part of the regular season plan of 2025 and unveiled this year's international matchups. The patriots were not included in any of the games.

New England's options for international games were limited. Since Home teams had already been shown, there was really only one way for the patriots to take part in an international game.

That was in Madrid, Spain. We already knew that the Miami Dolphins were the designated “Heim” team for this game. Since the patriots have a street game against the dolphins, the opportunity was on the table.

Instead, the dolphins will compete against the Washington commanders on November 16 as part of a week 11.

Here is the full list of international games that were unveiled on Monday:

Week 1: Chargers against Chiefs in Sāo Paulo, Brazil

Week 4: Vikings against Steelers in Dublin, Ireland

Week 5: Vikings against Browns in London, England

Week 6: Broncos against Jets in London, England

Week 7: Rams against Jaguars in London, England

Week 9: Falcons against Colts in Berlin, Germany

Week 11: Commanders against dolphins in Madrid, Spain

The full NFL time plan is to be published on Wednesday, May 14th, at 8 p.m. Edt.
