NEW England Patriots fans hoping to see Tom Brady's Foxborough homecoming are set to pay a fortune for the privilege.

The legendary quarterback, 45, will return to the Patriots' house for their opening game of the 2023 NFL season.

Brady will be presented to the crowd before New England's curtain-raiser against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 10.

And tickets for the big occasion are already at an eye-watering average of $807, ESPN reports.

Mike Reiss cited data from Vivid Seats which placed Brady's homecoming as the most expensive NFL ticket currently on the secondary market.

Brady won six of his seven Super Bowl titles with the Patriots after creating a dynasty alongside coach Bill Belichick.

He quit Gillette Stadium in 2020 to join up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he won his final ring at Super Bowl LV.

Brady retired in February for good, and Patriots owner Robert Kraft wants to honor the GOAT before and during the Eagles matchup.

Kraft said: "The NFL is over a century old. And 20 percent of those years, the NFL, the greatest player in the history of the game played right here in Foxboro.

"And I’m happy to tell you and your audience that I invited him back to come here and be with us at the opening game and let the fans in New England thank him for the great service he gave us for over 20 years.

"[This will] be the beginning of many celebrations to honor Tom Brady and say thank you for what he did for us those 20 years playing for the New England Patriots."

It is not yet clear exactly what the celebrations for the homecoming will involve.

But the occasion will be Brady's first time back in Foxborough since leading the Bucs to a 19-17 win over the Patriots in Week 4 of the 2021 season.

The invitation comes as Brady continues to get used to life post-football.

He looks set to take up a 10-year, $375million broadcast deal with Fox Sports in 2024.

While reports suggest the GOAT is looking to purchase a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.

It was a turbulent year for Brady off the field in 2022, divorcing from wife of thirteen years Gisele Bundchen in October.

But recent reports allege he is currently "dating a blonde superstar."
