It will be a familiar opponent for the Dolphins in Week 1 of the NFL season. Miami will be headed to New England for a 4:25 p.m. kickoff against the Patriots on Sept. 12.
The Fins will also travel across the pond again, facing the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6 (Oct. 17). It will be a Jaguars home game, so Miami doesn’t lose a home date.

The Dolphins opened the 2020 season in New England as well, losing 21-11. Miami finished last season 10-6, narrowly missing the playoffs. The Patriots were 7-9, their first losing season since 2000.
The Dolphins have played four times in London previously, losing three of those games. Their last trip to the UK was in the 2017 season against the New Orleans Saints.
The New York Jets and Atlanta Falcons are also facing each other in a London game in 2021. The league didn’t play any international games last season because of COVID-19.
