The Denver Broncos’ first preseason game of the upcoming season has not had an official date announced yet as of early February 2026. The NFL typically releases full preseason schedules in the spring (often May), so the exact date, time, and opponent for the Broncos’ first 2026 preseason game should be revealed around then.

What you can do right now

  • Check the Broncos’ official site and their schedule page periodically once we get into spring 2026, since that’s when dates usually drop.
  • Ticket platforms and schedule aggregators (like FBSchedules) already list 2026 regular-season opponents, but they do not yet show preseason dates, which confirms that the schedule is still pending.

Quick historical context

For reference, in 2025 the Broncos opened their preseason on August 9 on the road against the San Francisco 49ers, so you can reasonably expect the first 2026 preseason game to fall in a similar early‑ to mid‑August window, even though the exact date is not yet set.
