Patriots legend Rob Gronkowski could be a Pro Football Hall of Famer next year, but he will first be honored in Foxborough during the 2026 season.
The franchise announced in April that Gronkowski was elected to the Patriots Hall of Fame, and fans can now put a date on the calendar after the team announced the details of the tight end's induction ceremony on Monday.
Gronkowski finished his career with the Buccaneers, but he was a three-time Super Bowl champion in New England and is set to join a handful of former teammates in the Patriots Hall of Fame, including Tom Brady, Julian Edelman and Vince Wilfork.
Here's what you need to know about Gronkowski's induction ceremony.
Rob Gronkowski Patriots Hall of Fame Induction Date
The Patriots will honor Gronkowski with a Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 7 at Patriots Place Plaza, the team announced.
Admission to the event will be free, and it will take place a day before the Patriots host the Packers. With Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady set to call that game for Fox, the ceremony lines up well with an opportunity for Brady to attend. The Patriots haven't confirmed Brady's attendance, but one would have to think there is a strong likelihood.

Brady beat Gronkowski into the Patriots Hall of Fame, but Gronkowski will have a chance to be the first of the duo into the Pro Football Hall of Fame when the class of 2027 is revealed in February.
For now, Gronkowski will join five of his former teammates in the Patriots Hall of Fame: Brady, Edelman, Wilfork, Matt Light and Kevin Faulk.
