Game preview

Advance fan guide checked October 3, 2026. Las Vegas visits New England at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on Sunday, October 11. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. EDT, which is noon CDT, 11 a.m. MDT, 10 a.m. PDT in Las Vegas, 17:00 UTC and 6 p.m. BST. Recheck the schedule before travelling.

Watching from home

The confirmed assignment is CBS, with WBZ listed for the Patriots’ home market. This is regional Sunday-afternoon coverage, so a CBS station elsewhere may carry another game. The distribution map and television crew were not confirmed in the sources checked for this advance guide; check your local listing during game week.

Paramount+ carries the local CBS game where assigned. Eligible viewers elsewhere in the United States can use NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV for out-of-market Sunday-afternoon games. NFL+ live local regular-season viewing is limited to phones and tablets. These are territory-dependent subscription options, not a promise of nationwide access to this particular game. The Patriots’ radio flagship is 98.5 FM The Sports Hub; app audio has geographic and device restrictions.

Train tickets go on sale October 5

The game-specific stadium guide lists $20 round-trip special-event train tickets going on sale Monday, October 5 at 11 a.m. Eastern, exclusively in the mTicket app. Sales stop at capacity; ordinary Commuter Rail tickets and passes are not valid.

Boston departures from South Station are 10:05 and 10:45 a.m., arriving at Foxboro at 11:05 and 11:45 a.m. Both stop at Back Bay and Dedham Corporate Center. The Providence departure is 10:15 a.m., reaching Foxboro at 11:30 a.m. via Pawtucket/Central Falls, Attleboro and Mansfield. Return service leaves Foxboro 30 minutes after the game ends. All these times are Eastern. Check the full stop timetable before choosing a train.

Driving, drop-off and arrival

Parking opens at 9 a.m. and gates at 11 a.m. Stadium access is via Route 1; local-road closures can make navigation-app shortcuts misleading. General stadium-owned parking across Route 1 is free and does not require a pass. Stadium-side parking is a separate option: the transport page currently lists those passes as sold out, with any releases handled online. Do not assume drive-up availability.

Use the Patriots transportation section for parking maps and changes. Uber and Lyft drop-off and pickup for Patriots games are in Lot 15 near the CVS Health Gate. Day-game parking lots close two hours after the game. If considering the delayed-exit parking program, remember that its 75-minute hold means you cannot leave immediately after the final whistle.

Prepare your ticket and bag before leaving

Follow the mobile-ticket instructions: open the Gillette Stadium App, choose Tickets, access your account and select this game. Add tickets to your phone’s wallet before travelling, charge the phone and transfer individual tickets ahead of time if your group will arrive separately. Screenshots will not scan. For problems on arrival, the Ticket Office is outside the north-end Ticketmaster Gate in the plaza, with mobile-ticket support also at each gate.

The bag policy allows clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bags up to 12 × 12 × 6 inches, a one-gallon clear freezer bag up to 11 × 11 inches, or a small wristlet/handheld wallet up to 6.5 × 4.5 inches. Email the contact on that page at least 48 hours before the game to request medical-supply or dietary exceptions. Umbrellas and strollers are prohibited at Patriots games. Oversized-bag lockers are available; ask an attendant for their location. Gate staff do not hold prohibited items for safekeeping.

There is no stadium re-entry at Patriots games, so bring what you need before scanning in. Gillette is cashless, with cash-to-card kiosks available; the A-to-Z guide links the kiosk map. Every attendee needs a ticket, regardless of age.

Accessibility: arrange the right route in advance

For wheelchair or companion-seat relocation, call the Ticket Office at 800-543-1776 before game day. Exchanges depend on availability. Gillette does not supply wheelchairs for guest use. The accessible-services guide identifies Patriots ADA parking in Lot 4A from the north and Lot 22 from the south, requiring a valid state-issued placard or plate; overflow is in 3A and 20B respectively.

Accessible express elevators serve the main and upper concourses beside E1 near the Ticketmaster Gate and W1 near the Bank of America Gate. The sensory room is in the west-side W3 lobby near Sections 128–129; sensory bags can be borrowed from Guest Services at Sections 109, 131, 309 and 331.

This is an advance travel and viewing guide. Earlier-week injury labels on live team panels are not Week 5 availability decisions. Check the teams’ Week 5 reports and game-day inactive lists, and check the local forecast close to departure rather than treating an eight-day outlook as settled.
