Get ready, Broncos Country—the Denver Broncos have officially unveiled their 2026 preseason schedule, and it's shaping up to be an exciting summer of football action at Empower Field at Mile High and beyond. While the regular-season schedule release stole the spotlight on Thursday, the team quietly announced the opponents for their three preseason games, offering fans a first look at what's to come.
The Broncos will kick off their preseason campaign on the road, traveling to face the Atlanta Falcons on August 14 at 5 p.m. MT, a game that will be broadcast locally on 9News. It's a chance for Denver to test their mettle early against an NFC South opponent, and fans can expect to see rookies and veterans alike battling for roster spots.
After that, the action returns home for two consecutive games at Empower Field at Mile High. In Week 2, the Broncos will host the Green Bay Packers, a classic interconference matchup that always brings a bit of added spice. Then, in Week 3, Denver wraps up their preseason slate against the Minnesota Vikings, another NFC North foe that promises to provide a tough test as the team fine-tunes its roster ahead of the regular season. The exact dates and times for these two home games are still to be announced, but they should be confirmed in the coming weeks.
All three preseason games will be televised locally in Denver, and there's a good chance some might also air nationally on NFL Network, with the league expected to release the full list of nationally televised preseason games later this summer. For Broncos fans, this is the perfect opportunity to gear up in your favorite Denver apparel and catch a glimpse of the team's new talent and schemes before the stakes get real. Whether you're heading to the stadium or watching from home, this preseason schedule is a great reason to start counting down the days to kickoff.
