As the NFL prepares for another season, the Broncos 60th regular season schedule was released. Take a look at when Denver will take on their 16 opponents.
From the time the regular season ended on December 29th, 2019, the Broncos knew who they would be playing and where in the upcoming 2020 season. The only question that needed to be answered was when. And those questions were answered on Thursday night.
The NFL has released the 2020 regular-season schedule. Denver will be playing teams from their own division twice, all teams in the AFC East, all teams in the NFC South, and one team from the AFC North and South.

The schedule is going to be tough, as the Broncos have the fourth toughest schedule in the NFL and the toughest strength of schedule among all teams in the AFC West. The only three teams that have a more challenging schedule are the two New York teams, the Giants and Jets, and the Falcons.
Denver was rumored to play in London, potentially against the Falcons. But the league decided to cancel all international games due to the ongoing pandemic. Hopefully, 2021 will be the year the Broncos break the non overseas streak.
Denver has not been to the playoffs in four years. Let us hope that changes this season.
