About Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots

An AFC East Sunday with decades of history behind it, this fixture carries the weight of one of the NFL's oldest rivalries. Early October means crisp air and a stadium full of fans in coats and gloves rather than jerseys alone. Kickoff at one o'clock sets up a full day of tailgating beforehand, with parking lots filling hours ahead of time.

Divisional games like this one tend to matter more than the standings suggest, given how often these two sides have decided each other's playoff fate.

Where to stay nearby

Buffalo is the obvious base, closest to the stadium and with the largest choice of hotels, from downtown high-rises to spots nearer the airport. Cheektowaga sits just as close and offers a quieter, more suburban alternative with a solid range of options. Niagara Falls is further out, roughly 43km away, but with well over a hundred hotels it's a reasonable choice if you're combining the game with sightseeing, or if the closer towns are booked up on game weekend. A car is the most practical way to reach the venue from any of the three, since Highmark Stadium sits outside the city centre in Orchard Park.

Buffalo — about 15 km away

Buffalo is 15km from the venue and offers the widest choice of accommodations with 130 hotels. It's a full-service city with restaurants, nightlife, and attractions, though you'll need a short drive or taxi to reach Highmark Stadium.

About Buffalo Bills

The Bills joined the AFL as a charter member in 1960, reviving a name first used by an earlier Buffalo entry and honouring frontier showman Buffalo Bill Cody. Buffalo won back-to-back AFL titles in the mid-1960s, but the franchise is best known for reaching four consecutive Super Bowls from 1991 to 1994 and losing all four, an unmatched run of near-misses capped by a last-second missed field goal in the first.

Jim Kelly's high-powered no-huddle offense of that era remains the defining chapter in team history. More recently Josh Allen has led a new generation of playoff runs, and the loyal, cold-weather Bills Mafia fanbase has become part of the team's identity.

Buffalo Bills records & quirks

  • Tyler Bass kicked a franchise-record 61-yard field goal to beat Miami as time expired.
  • Bass also holds Bills records for most field goals in a game (six) and most points in a season (141).
  • In 2021 Buffalo scored a touchdown on every offensive drive in a 47-17 win over New England.

About Highmark Stadium

The new Highmark Stadium, opened in 2026, is the home of the Buffalo Bills, a striking open-air arena replacing the former ground in Orchard Park, south of Buffalo. The setting is suburban and community-driven, with Buffalo's reviving waterfront, Canalside and the restaurant scene of Elmwood Village a short drive away.

Parking and rideshare are the primary ways in. Booking a room in downtown Buffalo keeps the city's bars, waterfront and transport close, with an easy drive out to the stadium on game day.
