Broncos Full List of 2024 Opponents Revealed by NFL

Home

The Broncos will draw one additional away game this year after having nine homestands in 2023. That’s how the NFL’s new 17-game schedule rotates. Nine home games one year, eight the next. Rinse, repeat.
The AFC West draws the AFC North and the NFC South this year. The rotation is a semi-fortuitous one.
Although the AFC North opponents represent the stiffest non-divisional test, the Broncos drawing the NFC South helps balance those scales. And it creates some interesting storylines via the matchups.
Sean Payton will square off vs. the team that he led for 15 years as head coach. Broncos-Saints will be one of the most anticipated frames nationally on the 2024 schedule.
There are rumblings that Russell Wilson could land in Pittsburgh, if the Broncos ultimately choose to part ways with the veteran QB. That would make for an intriguing matchup.
When it comes to strength of schedule, the Broncos face the 20th-hardest slate of games in the NFL in 2024. Based on how their opponents faired in 2023, the Broncos’ strength of schedule next year is .495. The Football Gods will smile on Denver in that sense, offering a bit of a reprieve from the Broncos’ 12th-toughest strength of schedule last season.
The Broncos have much work to do this offseason. From finding a resolution on Wilson to possibly undergoing a sweeping quarterback search while overcoming a salary-cap situation that has them overextended by $30 million, the Broncos’ to-do list is long.
Denver has to find a way to fill multiple roster holes while having no breathing room on the cap, as it currently stands, and sitting with six draft picks. At least the Broncos’ have a first-rounder this year (for now), picking No. 12 overall.
