For the second straight season, the Miami Dolphins will open their schedule at the home of a longtime divisional rival.
The Fins will begin their 2021 slate at the New England Patriots on September 12th, with kickoff slated at 4:25 p.m. inside Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Miami and New England started the 2020 season with the Patriots getting a 21-11 victory in a game played with no fans in attendance. The National Football League has not yet announced fan capacities for the 2021 season.
One week later, the Dolphins will kick off the home slate of the 2021 schedule at 1 p.m. against the Buffalo Bills - a team who made it to the AFC Championship Game last season.
