The NFL will announce the 2026 regular season schedule on Thursday, May 14th. However, each network is expected to announce select games ahead of the full release, starting on Monday morning, so we may know a few of the Broncos games prior to the official schedule release on Thursday.

• Monday, May 11th: NBC/Peacock at 8:30 AM
• Monday, May 11th: FOX at 4:00 PM
• Monday, May 11th: Amazon at 6:30 PM
• Tuesday, May 12th: Disney at 4:00 PM

• Wednesday, May 13th: YouTube at 5:30 PM

The Denver Broncos could be a team we see playing a bunch of primetime games, a key international game, and potentially even a holiday game. As we know, they were just one game away from the Super Bowl and provided fans a thrilling victory vs. the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Now with Jaylen Waddle added, Bo Nix, Sean Payton, and the Broncos' top-ranked defense will be viewed as legitimate Super Bowl contenders this season. So, I would not be surprised if we see the Broncos featured in a lot of these primetime/feature games on the schedule.

With the schedule release only days away, we will get these early announcements along with leaks throughout the week, revealing who, when, and where the Broncos will be playing their games this upcoming season. All eyes will be on week 1, how many primetime games they have, whether they play any holiday games, the bye week, and, of course, when you play your divisional rivals.

We will be tracking all these announcements, leaks, and rumors throughout the week and keeping you informed on the Denver Broncos schedule release.
