Weather forecast for Patriots’ Week 2 game vs. Steelers
An up-to-date weather forecast for the Sunday game.
The New England Patriots are set to host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2, but fans may need to bring rain gear to the game. According to NFL Weather, there is a 40-45% chance of rain showers throughout Gillette Stadium during the match, with temperatures ranging from 58°F to 63°F. The National Weather Service also predicts a chance of showers, mainly in the afternoon, with a 50% probability of precipitation for Sunday afternoon.
This weather forecast marks a departure from the sunny conditions experienced by both teams during their respective season openers last week. While New England played the Seahawks in clear weather at Seattle's Lumen Field, Pittsburgh faced cloudy but dry conditions against the Falcons on Sunday. The Patriots have not played a game in wet conditions since their AFC Championship Game win over the Chiefs, which was affected by heavy snowfall. Their last true rain game was the 2025 home opener against the Raiders, which they lost 20-13.
The Patriots and Steelers are scheduled to kick off their Week 2 matchup on Sunday, September 20 at 1 p.m. ET.
