What NFL Football Team is Playing Tonight?
The answer to this question may seem obvious, but it is worth mentioning for those who are new to the sport. There are 32 teams in the National Football League (NFL), and each team plays 16 games over the course of 17 weeks.
New England Patriots
The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston area. The Patriots compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The team plays its home games at Gillette Stadium in the town of Foxborough, Massachusetts, which is located 28 miles (45 km) southwest of downtown Boston. The Patriots are also headquartered at Gillette Stadium.
An original member of the American Football League (AFL), the Patriots joined the NFL in the AFL–NFL merger in 1970. The team changed its name from the original Boston Patriots after relocating to Foxborough in 1971. The Patriots played their home games at Foxboro Stadium from 1971 to 2001, then moved to Gillette Stadium at the start of the 2002 season. Between 2002 and 2017, the Patriots compiled a regular season record of 201–71, with a playoff record of 25–18. In that time period, they won 16 AFC East titles, 13 AFC championships (tied with Denver for second most all-time), and six Super Bowls (tied for first most all-time), making them one of just two NFL teams to achieve those feats within that time period along with Denver. From 2001 to 2008, excluding two seasons where Tom Brady was injured and did not play all 16 games, the Patriots averaged 10 wins per season; during this 95-game stretch between 2001 and 2008 where Brady played all 16 games during each season, New England averaged 12 wins per season and won 85% of their regular-season games, both best among NFL teams over that eight-year stretch between 2001 and 2008
In addition to Brady, many other key players have played for the Patriots throughout their history; among those are linebacker Andre Tippett, running back Corey Dillon (who set the single-game rushing record for a Patriot when he ran for an NFL record 275 yards against Indianapolis on October 3, 2004), safety Rodney Harrison, quarterback Drew Bledsoe (who led them to their first Super Bowl appearance), placekicker Adam Vinatieri (who kicked game winning field goals in two different Super Bowls), wide receiver Randy Moss (who holds multiple receiving records as a Patriot), running back James White (who scored the game winning touchdown in overtime during Super Bowl LI), and defensive end Willie McGinest – who holds several club sack records.

Conclusion
The answer is that there is no one answer. Different NFL football teams play on different days and times, so it really depends on when you are looking at the schedule. However, there are some ways to narrow down the possibilities. For example, if you know that a particular team is playing at home, then you can check the team’s website or social media pages to see when their next home game is. Alternatively, if you are looking for a specific type of game (e.g., divisional or conference rivalries, marquee matchups), then you can check various sports websites or television listings to see which games are being shown in your area.
