Share

We've had an inkling as to when the Patriots will begin training camp. Every year, it's around the same time. But the team made their camp schedule official on Thursday.

Patriots veterans will report July 27, and the first public practice will occur the next day on the fields behind Gillette Stadium.

This will be the team's 57th training camp and their 14th consecutive camp at Gillette Stadium. As usual, practices are free and open to the public. Dates and times for practices beyond July 28 will be updated on Patriots.com for fans interested in attending. Fans can also call the training camp hotline (508) 549-0001 for more information.

The Patriots will host joint practices with the Saints beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Aug. 9 and 10 ahead of the 2016 preseason-opener on Aug. 11 at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots will also hold joint practices with the Bears on Aug, 15 and 16 prior to their preseason game at Gillette on Aug. 18. All four of those joint sessions will be open to the public.

The Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony for former running back Kevin Faulk will be held on Aug. 1 at 5 p.m. on the NRG Plaza just outside The Hall at Patriot Place. After the ceremony, the Patriots will hold their annual in-stadium practice for season-ticket holders and Foxboro residents at 7 p.m.
