The Patriots announced that the 2025 Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony will take place on Saturday, September 20 at Patriot Place Plaza.

The event starts at 4 p.m. and is open and free to the public.

The ceremony will honor the induction of former wide receiver Julian Edelman and former coach Bill Parcells.

Edelman was chosen as the 37th inductee selected by the fans. The Kent State alum spent his entire career in a Patriots uniform. In team history, he ranks second for receptions (620), fourth in yards (6,822) and ninth in receiving touchdowns (36). He currently holds the record for a wide receiver with 58 rushing attempts for 413 yards.

In NFL postseason history, Edelman ranks third in receptions at 118 and receiving yards at 1,443. He has three Super Bowl rings, and was named MVP for Super Bowl LIII after he caught 10 receptions for 141 yards.

Robert Kraft named Bill Parcells as a contributor in the Hall. Parcells led the team as head coach from 1993 to 1996, helping re-establish the competitiveness of the franchise. In 1994, he earned NFL Coach of the Year honors after New England had a seven-game win streak, bringing them to the postseason for the first time in years. He is the only head coach in history of the NFL to lead four different teams to the playoffs, and three of those teams to the conference championship.

The Patriots Hall of Fame was opened in 2008 after its inaugural induction weekend. Those who were already honored by the team were re-inducted into the new Hall.

The Patriots Hall of Fame is now a modern museum for fans to honor and appreciate the greatest moments in the franchise’s history.
