The Denver Broncos' 2025 opponents are now set, featuring a ninth game at Empower Field

With the 2024 regular season officially in the books, the Denver Broncos' home and away opponents for the 2024 NFL season have been finalized.

The 2025 NFL schedule won’t officially be revealed until sometime in mid-May, which means we don’t have all the details on dates and times for these matchups. However, the Broncos' opponents for next year are already officially set in stone.

Take a look at those opponents and our thoughts down below:

2025 Away Opponents:

• Kansas City Chiefs
• Los Angeles Chargers
• Las Vegas Raiders
• Jacksonville Jaguars
• Tennessee Titans
• Dallas Cowboys
• New York Giants
• Cincinnati Bengals

2025 Home Opponents:

• Kansas City Chiefs
• Los Angeles Chargers
• Las Vegas Raiders
• Houston Texans
• Indianapolis Colts
• Philadelphia Eagles
• Washington Commanders
• New York Jets
• Green Bay Packers

Observations:

The Broncos will play the NFC East and the AFC South in 2025. They will also face the Bengals and Jets, who, like Denver, finished third in their respective divisions. The Broncos' 17th game will be at home against the third-place NFC North Packers.

Denver edged out the Packers at home last year 19-17, and of course beat them in Super Bowl XXXII. On the surface, it appears to be a rough go for the Broncos in 2025. Their own division, the AFC West, is one of the toughest in the NFL. 

Combine that with matchups against the likes of the Eagles, Commanders, Texans, Packers, and Bengals, it could be tough sledding for Denver. However, the NFL's landscape can certainly change drastically during an offseason, so we'll get a better idea of how challenging the schedule will be following free agency and the NFL Draft.
