Rob Gronkowski's Patriots Hall of Fame Induction Has Obvious Date

The New England Patriots never had much of a choice for Rob Gronkowski's Hall of Fame induction ceremony date.

The Patriots Hall of Fame will be inducted its 38th member on November 7th. Rob Gronkowski, a fan-voted selection this summer, will join the ranks of franchise legends in a ceremony taking place at Patriots Place Plaza, just before the New England Patriots clash with the Green Bay Packers at Gillette Stadium. The timing of the induction ceremony is noteworthy due to the presence of Tom Brady, who contributed to all 105 touchdown receptions made by Gronkowski from 2010-2021.

Brady, who was part of the Patriots-Packers matchup for FOX, will be in attendance to call the game. Gronkowski, who spent his initial nine seasons with the Patriots, will return on November 12th, 2025, fulfilling the final wish of his late friend Susan Hurley and thus retiring as a member of the Patriots. The Patriots were pleased to have the four-time first-team All-Pro return for one night where they showcased a dominant performance against the New York Jets.

Gronkowski concluded his career with four Super Bowl championships, three with the Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, scoring 719 receptions, accumulating 10,675 receiving yards, tallying 106 total touchdowns and leaving behind a legacy marked by resilience, dominance and a distinctive personality. The Patriots are delighted to honor him again in November.
