The 2026 season officially kicks off for the Denver Broncos with their first preseason game being on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. Starters will play 10-15 snaps, but no Bo Nix. He’ll make his 2026 debut next week. There is plenty of position competition happening across the roster, so these games should give fans a good look at who might have the upper hand heading into the final weeks of training camp.
Kickoff is set for 5:00 p.m. Mile High time on Friday, August 14, 2025 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. You can also check local Broncos radio network affiliate stations . Join the discussion in the comments section below.
