With three regular season games remaining, we are just a few weeks away from knowing the Denver Broncos‘ full list of opponents for the 2026 NFL season.

In addition to playing their AFC West rivals, the Broncos will face the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and a 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 same-place finishers from the AFC North and NFC South.

The Broncos have not yet clinched the AFC West, but they could secure the division if they win and the Chargers lose on Sunday. Right now, the leaders of the AFC South, AFC North and NFC South are the Jacksonville Jaguars, Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, respectively. Of course, those standings are subject to change in the final weeks of the regular season.
