The Denver Broncos are on the road under the prime time lights of Monday Night Football to try to prove to the world that the AFC West has truly had a changing of the guard. These Kansas City Chiefs are a tough home opponent and it shouldn't be easy for Denver by any measure, but if they can pull off an upset and steal a road win in division it would be huge for their chances to repeat as AFC West champs this season.
Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. Mile High time on Monday, September 14, 2026 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. You can watch the live stream of the game through FuboTV or on ESPN. The game will be called by Joe Buck (play-by-play) and Troy Aikman (analyst), with Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge (sideline). You can also check local Broncos radio network affiliate stations.

Broncos vs. Chiefs score predictionsWhile I think the Broncos have the better roster and the Chiefs are in a transition period after a dominant run, they are still the Chiefs and its prime time at home with Patrick Mahomes fully healthy. Anything can - and probably will - happen. That said, I'm still a Broncos fan and I see this game coming down to a failed two-point conversion to end the game. Go Broncos!

#Broncos had vowed to be ready for Kenneth Walker III. But he's got 29 yards on six carries so far.
- Chris Tomasson (@christomasson) September 15, 2026
This Kansas City drive so far has looked exactly like what #Broncos DC Vance Joseph predicted teams would try to do to Denver. Run the ball, misdirection and diligence about staying out of second or third-and-long.

KC drive: 10 plays, 49 yards, 5:19 TOP and a 15-yard scamper for No. 15.
- Parker Gabriel (@ParkerJGabriel) September 15, 2026
7-0 Chiefs with 8:11 left in the opening quarter.
A Bo Nix interception turns into an opening scoring drive for the Chiefs.
Kelce definitely held but wasn't called... shocking

Jaylen Waddle out of the backfield drew a ton of attention and Evan Engram got in behind for a wide-open 19-yard touchdown.
- Parker Gabriel (@ParkerJGabriel) September 15, 2026
Slick design with Waddle operating out of the backfield from Davis Webb and Co there.

Broncos defense settles in, forces Mahomes and co. into a 3-and-out on the 2nd drive.

But not enough for a first
This game is evening out
Que Robinson with an excellent pressure. Hit Mahomes and forced him to throw it away.
- Zac Stevens (@ZacStevens) September 15, 2026
Patrick Mahomes has 24 rushing yards.
- Zac Stevens (@ZacStevens) September 15, 2026
He has 14 passing yards and he's 2/9.

2-minute warning: Broncos and Chiefs tied 7-7.
- Jon Heath (@ByJonHeath) September 15, 2026
KC's facing 1st-and-10 at Denver's 26-yard line.
Don't remember seeing this many @Broncos missed tackles in a long time.
- Ed McCaffrey (@87ed) September 15, 2026
Okay, no more. Got them out of the way.
Points before half would be huge. Let's go O! #BroncosCountry
Halftime thoughts
- MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) September 15, 2026
- Outside of one drive, the Broncos offense has not been good. Waddle has not been involved as much as I anticipated. They have also abandoned the run game.
- Defense cannot stop Kenneth Walker and they can't let Mahomes beat them with his feet
