The Denver Broncos have learned their opponents for the 2026 regular season as division standings across the NFL concluded. The team, currently awaiting its postseason games, will face a slate determined by the league’s standard scheduling formula.
Denver will play its usual home-and-away series against AFC West rivals. In addition, they are set to compete against all teams from both the AFC East and NFC West divisions in 2026. The Broncos will also match up with the first-place finishers from the AFC South, AFC North, and NFC South.
At home, Denver will host the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins from the AFC East. The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks of the NFC West will also visit Empower Field at Mile High. On the road, the Broncos are scheduled to play against the New England Patriots and New York Jets (AFC East), as well as travel to meet the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers (NFC West).
Other notable games include a rematch at home against this season’s AFC South champion Jacksonville Jaguars. Away contests feature trips to face both the Pittsburgh Steelers (AFC North) and Carolina Panthers (NFC South).
According to league guidelines, each NFL team plays six divisional games, four games against another rotating AFC division, four versus a rotating NFC division, and three additional matchups based on divisional standings.
The Broncos’ 2026 campaign includes eight home games and nine on the road. They are set to play ten contests against teams that made the playoffs in 2025.
“The complete regular-season schedule is typically released in the spring,” according to team officials.
