DENVER (KDVR) — The full Denver Broncos 2025 regular season schedule has been released, with the team starting at home for Week 1 of the NFL season.
On Wednesday, the Broncos released the 18-week schedule that will be the blueprint for their newest journey in the 2025 regular season. The schedule includes four prime time games, with one taking place across the pond at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Before last season started, sports analysts and fans alike were unsure of how the season would unfold after the franchise entrusted rookie quarterback Bo Nix with the reins.
Nix embraced the challenge and became an integral part of a core of young Broncos players that took the next major steps in their development as individuals and as a team.
The team returned to the playoffs for the first time in a decade and will be looking to build upon its above-expectations season in 2024.

Key matchups
Season opener: Week 1 vs the Titans
It’s always good to start the season on the right foot. Broncos fans in Denver won’t have to wait for the return of the team, as the Broncos’ season opener doubles as a home opener.
Nix will get to show the ropes to fellow young quarterback and 2025 No. 1 overall draft pick, Cam Ward.
Revenge games: Week 3, Week 18 vs the Chargers
The Chargers, a conference rival, had the Broncos’ number last season and walked away the winner of both matchups on the season.
The second of those games featured a 27-34 loss for the Broncos in Week 16, and nearly knocked them out of playoff contention.
Broncos players won’t be quick to forget and will come with their A-game against the Chargers.
Taking on the champs: Week 5 at the Eagles
The Broncos’ aspirations may have shifted this offseason from returning to the playoffs to figuring out what it takes to bring home the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
The Eagles figured out how to do just that last season, and this will be a good litmus test against a team that will likely be among the favorites to win it all again.
It’s those guys…: Week 10, Week 14 vs the Raiders
Need anything more be said?
Fans and players will have these games circled on their calendars.
Add in a prime time Thursday Night Football game for Week 10 at Empower Field at Mile High, and it is a dream come true for Broncos’ fans everywhere.
Championship pedigree: Chiefs
The near perennial champions, and perpetual contenders, the Chiefs, always make noise come playoff time.
The Broncos will have plenty of time to dissect their conference foe and show that they have what it takes to claim the AFC West throne.
The second of the game weeks will be a prime time game, where the Broncos will have to endure the freezing cold of Kansas City on Christmas night.
After a successful 2024 season, the Broncos were awarded with some recognition by the NFL and will feature in four prime time games, two short of the maximum six, and will face off against a mix of teams that dream of deep playoff runs or being the last team standing in the postseason.
The team will face challenges from Denver to London and back again.
Fans will be right there to support their young and rising team in hopes of returning to the promised land again.
