Tom Brady’s Historic Patriots Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

Since Tom Brady hung up his cleats after an illustrious 23-season career, culminating in seven Super Bowl championships, the Patriots organization has been meticulously planning a ceremony to honor his legendary tenure.

All the anticipation culminates on Wednesday, June 12, as Brady is set to become the 35th inductee into the Patriots Hall of Fame. 

Traditionally, players wait four years for their Hall of Fame induction, but Patriots chairman and CEO Robert Kraft announced in September that Brady’s wait would be waived, acknowledging his exceptional contribution to the franchise. Kicking off the event, Boston comedian Bill Burr will deliver an opening monologue, with fans encouraged to be seated by 6:30 p.m. ET to catch Burr’s performance and other surprise musical acts.

Which Former Players Will Attend? 

The ceremony will see over 100 of Brady’s former teammates returning to Foxborough for the occasion, including notable names such as Julian Edelman, Randy Moss, Rob Gronkowski, Willie McGinest, Devin McCourty, Vince Wilfork, Ty Law, James White, Wes Welker, Kevin Faulk, Matthew Slater, Dan Koppen, Logan Mankins, Matt Cassel, Brian Hoyer, Drew Bledsoe, Rob Ninkovich, and Patrick Chung.

Preceding the main event, Jason McCourty, Deatrich Wise Jr., and Patriots reporter Tamara Brown will host a live red carpet show, interviewing guests as they arrive. This Red Carpet Arrival show starts at 5:15 p.m. ET and will be live-streamed on Gillette Stadium’s video board and Patriots.com. Fans should be at their seats by 5:00 p.m. ET to not miss any surprise guests.

On the plaza, Mike Riley will conduct interviews with Patriots Hall of Famers and other special guests, while Patriots reporter Mike Dussault and radio host Nick Stevens will manage a similar setup on the main stage before the main ceremony begins. All attendees will receive a special commemorative souvenir to mark the occasion.

The evening’s festivities will conclude around 9:30 p.m. ET. For those who cannot attend in person, the entire event will be streamed live across all Patriots digital and social platforms starting at 5:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
