Tom Brady is set to return to Gillette Stadium on Sunday.

The New England Patriots will be honoring Brady at halftime of their game against the Philadelphia Eagles. 

The ceremony will also be streamed on the team’s website and on their social channels.

Brady led the Patriots to six Super Bowl titles during his 20 seasons with them. He then ended his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before retiring earlier this year.

Patriots fans are super excited to see Brady come back to Gillette Stadium.

“Unretiring the jersey for this one,” another tweet read.

“Brady statue should be on top of the lighthouse like touchdown Jesus. #foreverne,” said a third fan.

“Getting the tissues ready cause there is zero chance I survive that ceremony without becoming a blubbering mess,” another person chimed in.

Many fans expect Brady’s No. 12 to be retired during this ceremony, which will surely make fans emotional. 

Kickoff for Sunday’s Patriots-Eagles game will be at 4:25 p.m. ET and it’ll be televised by CBS. Jim Nantz and Tony Romo will be on the call.
