After winning the AFC West last fall, the Denver Broncos will face a first-place schedule during the 2026 NFL season. The league is expected to announce the finalized schedule in May (perhaps on May 12), but we already know Denver’s full list of 2026 opponents.
In addition to playing their AFC West rivals, the Broncos will face the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and the same-place finisher from the AFC South at home in 2026.

On the road, Denver will face their division rivals plus the Arizona Cardinals, New England Patriots, New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers and the same-place finishers from the AFC North and NFC South.
Denver’s opponents from the AFC South, AFC North and NFC South will be the Jacksonville Jaguars, Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers, respectively.
Kansas City Chiefs (home, away)
Los Angeles Chargers (home, away)
Jacksonville Jaguars (home)
New England Patriots (away)
San Francisco 49ers (away)
Pittsburgh Steelers (away)
After the Broncos were knocked out of the NFL playoffs by the Patriots in the AFC Championship game, that trip to New England appears to be a top candidate for a prime-time spotlight. The team’s home game against Buffalo — a rematch of the divisional round — could also be a strong candidate for a nationally televised window in 2026.
