After going 14-3 last season and clinching the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed as an AFC West champion and conference contender, the Denver Broncos face a much tougher schedule in 2026.
From the defending Super Bowl champions to several title contenders, the Broncos will face 10 teams that made the NFL playoffs last season. Up next is a road showdown with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. After playing on Thursday Night Football earlier this week, that Cardinals game will be 10 days after Denver's most recent game.
The Broncos will likely need at least 10 wins this fall to secure a spot in the AFC playoffs. Can they do it? Check out our score predictions for the club's remaining games below, plus Denver's projected final record.
