If you’re a New England Patriots fan—or just a football fan in general—mark your calendars for August 8, 2025. That’s when the Patriots will officially unveil a 12-foot bronze statue of the one and only Tom Brady, right outside Gillette Stadium.
Yes, the GOAT is getting a monument that will stand tall (literally) at Patriots Place, near the team’s Hall of Fame. And it’s happening on the same day the Patriots take on the Washington Commanders in a preseason game, so expect a packed house and some serious energy in Foxborough.
This statue has been in the works for a while. It was originally planned for 2024 but got pushed due to some timing and design logistics. But now it’s official—and it’s going to be epic.
The news comes just a year after Brady was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame in June 2024. That ceremony was full of heartfelt tributes, emotional speeches, and even a big surprise: team owner Robert Kraft retired Brady’s legendary No. 12 jersey and announced the statue plan on the spot.
“Tom Brady is more than just a player—he’s a symbol of excellence, perseverance, and what it means to be a Patriot,” Kraft said. And honestly, who could argue?
Brady spent 20 seasons with the Pats, won six Super Bowl titles, and rewrote the NFL record books in the process. The statue will feature him in his signature throwing stance—frozen in time for fans to admire for generations to come.
For longtime Patriots fans, this moment is more than just a celebration. It’s a tribute to an era. A dynasty. And a quarterback who changed the game forever.
So if you’ve ever cheered a Brady comeback or wore your No. 12 jersey with pride, this August might be the perfect time for a pilgrimage to Gillette. The GOAT is getting his statue—and it’s going to be legendary.
