The Denver Broncos are gearing up for a blockbuster holiday season in 2026, as the team is set to take the field on both Black Friday and Christmas Day. According to a report from Benjamin Allbright of KOA Radio, the Broncos will hit the road for a Black Friday showdown in Week 12 (Nov. 27) and host a Christmas Day game in Week 16 (Dec. 25). The team's bye week will fall in Week 10, giving players a mid-season breather.
The NFL has already confirmed the Broncos' season opener: a Monday Night Football clash against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 14 in Week 1. But now, fans have even more reason to mark their calendars. Reliable NFL insider @OzzyNFL, known for accurate schedule leaks in past seasons, has hinted that the Black Friday game will pit the Broncos against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Prime Video.
