The Denver Broncos are looking to make a statement in the 2025-26 NFL season, with a tough schedule ahead of them. With Russell Wilson at the helm, the Broncos are gearing up to compete against some of the toughest teams in the NFL, including their AFC West rivals.
The season kicks off on September 7 as the Broncos face off against the Tennessee Titans at home. This is just the beginning of a brutal stretch where Denver will test its mettle against formidable opponents. The Broncos will hit the road in Week 2 to take on Indianapolis, then head to Los Angeles to face the Chargers in Week 3. With an early challenge in the AFC West, the Broncos will need to find their rhythm quickly.
Key matchups to watch include the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5, where the Broncos will have to prove themselves against one of the NFC’s best. Then, the Broncos will face the New York Jets and New York Giants in back-to-back weeks—both games providing a good opportunity for Wilson to assert his dominance in the league. The match against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8 will also be pivotal, with playoff implications likely on the line by that time.
As the season progresses, Kansas City stands out as a potential obstacle in Week 11 and Week 16, with the reigning AFC West champions always a force to be reckoned with. A potential flex game against the Chargers could determine Denver’s fate in the division race.
With the Broncos’ deep roster and veteran leadership, the 2025-26 season is full of promise. Can Russell Wilson and the Broncos rally their squad to make a Super Bowl run, or will they be dethroned by their rivals in the West?
