We already knew the schedule and the opponents, but on Thursday the NFL announced the times of each of the contests for the Patriots’ upcoming preseason games.

The team opens up with a 7:30pm start time to kick things off against the Saints, followed by an 8pm start against the Bears.  Both of those games are home games as the team begins the exhibition season at Gillette Stadium.

Week 1 8/'11 vs N.O. 7:30pm
Week 2 8/18 vs CHI 8:00pm
Week 3 8/26 at CAR 7:30pm
