The Denver Broncos will continue their 2023 NFL season on Thursday when they take on the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 6.
The Broncos are set to travel 19,930 miles this season and face the 12th-hardest strength of schedule in the league. Before any flexes, Denver’s initial schedule includes four prime-time games.
The Broncos will play nine games at their home Empower Field at Mile High Stadium this year and eight games on the road. Because the league has an unbalanced 17-game schedule, the NFC and AFC rotate between having an extra home game. This year, the AFC gets a ninth home game.

Denver quarterback Russell Wilson will aim to bounce back this fall after a disappointing first season with the Broncos in 2022. Wilson should be helped by the arrival of new head coach Sean Payton, a QB guru.

The Broncos have not returned to the playoffs since their Super Bowl-winning season in 2015. Payton will have to get the team back on track quickly if they’re going to compete for a playoff spot this fall.
