2026 Preseason Games

Denver kicks off the 2026 preseason in August with three games:

• Friday, August 14 at Atlanta Falcons, 5:00 PM
• Friday, August 21 vs. Green Bay Packers, 7:00 PM
• Friday, August 28 vs. Minnesota Vikings, 7:00 PM

The preseason is always a fun way to get a first look at the team, new players, and the overall feel going into the regular season.

2026 Regular Season Breakdown

The regular season starts strong with a big road game:

Monday, September 14 at Kansas City Chiefs, 6:15 PM

From there, Denver has a mix of home games, road matchups, division rivalries, and a few games that will definitely be worth circling on the calendar.

Some of the key regular season matchups include:

• Kansas City Chiefs
• Las Vegas Raiders
• Los Angeles Chargers
• Seattle Seahawks
• Buffalo Bills
• Miami Dolphins
• Los Angeles Rams
• Pittsburgh Steelers
• New England Patriots

There are also a few fun timing notes this season, including a Friday game after Thanksgiving against Pittsburgh and a Christmas Day matchup against Buffalo.

Home Games

Denver fans will have plenty of opportunities to cheer from home this season. The 2026 home games include:

• Green Bay Packers
• Minnesota Vikings
• Jacksonville Jaguars
• Los Angeles Rams
• Seattle Seahawks
• Kansas City Chiefs
• Las Vegas Raiders
• Miami Dolphins
• Buffalo Bills
• Los Angeles Chargers

Home games always bring that extra buzz around the city. Restaurants, sports bars, neighborhoods, and tailgates all come alive when football is back in Denver.

Away Games

Denver will also be hitting the road for several big matchups this season, including:

• Atlanta Falcons
• Kansas City Chiefs
• San Francisco 49ers
• Los Angeles Chargers
• Arizona Cardinals
• Carolina Panthers
• Pittsburgh Steelers
• New York Jets
• Las Vegas Raiders
• New England Patriots

Away games are perfect for watch parties, Sunday gatherings, or even planning a football road trip if you love traveling for sports.

Bye Week

Denver’s bye week falls after the Sunday, November 8 game at Carolina and before the Sunday, November 22 home game against Las Vegas.

That gives fans a little breather right before the final stretch of the season, which includes division games, holiday matchups, and several games that could matter late in the year.

Denver Game-Day Tips

Football season in Denver is not just about the game. It is about the experience.

Here are a few simple game-day ideas:

• Plan ahead for parking and traffic, especially around Empower Field at Mile High.
• Make reservations early if you are watching from a restaurant or sports bar.
• Host a game-day party at home with friends, neighbors, and family.
• Support local Denver businesses before or after the game.
• Dress in layers, because Colorado weather can change fast, especially later in the season.

Whether you are watching from the stadium, your favorite neighborhood spot, or your living room, football season is always a great excuse to bring people together.

A Little Real Estate Thought

One thing I hear often during football season is how much people love having a home that works for entertaining. A great living room, open kitchen, finished basement, covered patio, extra parking, or even just a better layout can make game days so much more fun.

So while this schedule is all about football, it is also a good reminder: your home should fit the way you actually live.

Whether that means more space to host, a better location, downsizing, investing, or finding a property that works for your next chapter, I am always happy to be a resource.

Whether you’re heading to the stadium, hosting friends at home, or just keeping track of game days, I hope this schedule helps you plan ahead.

And as always, if football season has you thinking about more space to entertain, a better location, or a fresh move in the Denver Metro area, I’m always happy to be a resource.

Go Denver!

Here’s to a fun 2026 football season in Denver!
