How to watch Dolphins vs. Patriots? TV channel and live stream details for the Week 2 game

The Miami Dolphins were no match for the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1. Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill never got going in the game, and it resulted in a blowout loss for Mike McDaniel's side to open the season.

The Dolphins missed out on the playoffs last season, and this campaign could be a make-or-break one for McDaniel. With that being said, the upcoming game against Mike Vrabel's Patriots holds added significance.

The New England Patriots put up a much better fight against the Las Vegas Raiders, but ultimately lost the contest. It was a losing start to Mike Vrabel's tenure as the head coach of the Robert Kraft-owned franchise.

The Patriots will now travel to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami to potentially pick up their first victory of the season.

Here's what you need to know about the game:

• Date: Sunday, September 14, 2025
• Live stream: FuboTV and DAZN
• Time: 1 pm ET
• TV channel: CBS
• Venue: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, Florida
