Patriots’ full 2026 spring schedule released

April 4, 2026 - 03:24

The New England Patriots have officially set their calendar for the 2026 offseason, outlining the key phases of preparation before training camp begins. The schedule details the team's structured return to Foxborough, encompassing voluntary workouts, organized team activities (OTAs), and the crucial mandatory minicamp.

The offseason program will launch in April with voluntary workouts, allowing players to reconvene for conditioning and meetings. This phase transitions into a series of OTAs scheduled throughout May and June. These on-field sessions are vital for installing schemes, fostering player development, and building team chemistry in a non-padded environment.

The culmination of the spring schedule is the mandatory full-squad minicamp, set for mid-June. This multi-day camp is the most intensive part of the offseason program and often serves as a final evaluation point for the roster ahead of the summer break. For a new-look Patriots team, this structured spring will be foundational for implementing the coaching staff's vision and building a cohesive unit for the 2026 campaign.
