Denver Broncos prepare for season opener against Kansas City Chiefs

Summary

The Denver Broncos travel to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for a Monday Night Football matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Coming off a 14-win 2025 season and an AFC West title, Denver enters the game looking to establish a more effective offense under play-caller Davis Webb. Quarterback Bo Nix begins his third year leading the unit, which now includes newly acquired playmaker Jaylen Waddle. Defensively, Denver aims to pressure Patrick Mahomes and limit running back Kenneth Walker III. The Broncos also look to improve upon a 2025 campaign that saw them rank among the most penalized teams in the league while finishing with a negative turnover differential. This contest serves as the opening game of the 2026 season for both teams.
