A week after the Patriots’ regular season schedule was released, their preseason schedule is now also complete. The team had one last date to fill, which they did officially on Thursday.

The Patriots’ middle preseason game against the Green Bay Packers will be played Saturday, Aug. 19 according to the team. Per Chad Graff of The Athletic, that game will kick off at 8 p.m. ET.

• In addition to the time of the game, Graff added that the teams will ‘likely’ hold joint practices together Wednesday and Thursday in Green Bay. It will be the first time the teams hold joint practices together since the mid-90s.

  With this bit of information, the Patriots’ preseason schedule in full looks like this – Week 1 at home against the Houston Texans at 7 p.m. on Thursday Aug. 10, Week 2 on the road against the Packers, and Week 3 on the road against the Tennessee Titans on Friday, Aug. 25 at 8:15 p.m. to wrap up the preseason.

  The Patriots are expected to hold joint practices with the Titans as well as the Packers. That could facilitate a quick turnaround between Weeks 2 and 3, with practices in Tennessee likely starting on Monday or Tuesday after the Saturday game.

  All Patriots preseason games can be heard on 98.5 The Sports Hub and the entire New England Patriots Radio Network, with pregame coverage beginning three hours prior to kickoff.
