Broncos will travel 19,930 miles during 2023 NFL season

The Denver Broncos will travel 19,930 miles for their games in 2023, the 14th-most travel miles in the NFL this season, according to data collected by Bill Speros of Bookies.com.

That puts the Broncos near the middle of the pack for travel miles this year, marking a huge improvement from when they had the second-most travel miles in the NFL last year (27,398). Denver’s trip to London last fall played a big factor in last year’s ranking.

Due to their international trip, the Broncos traveled through 32 time zones in 2022. This year, it will be a more manageable 26 time zones. Denver’s longest trip will be to a 3,476-mile journey to face the New England Patriots, a trip that will span four time zones.

The Broncos will have another east coast trip above 3,000 miles when they face the New York Jets (3,210), and their trip to play the Washington Commanders will be just under that mark (2,952).

The biggest takeaway for Denver is that the team won’t have to travel nearly as far this year as they did in 2022. Everything adds up during an NFL season, so hopefully a lighter travel schedule will be good news for the Broncos.

Broncos will travel 2nd-most miles in the NFL this season

Even if the Broncos played the Jaguars in Jacksonville instead of London, Denver would still have a tough travel schedule.

We don’t yet know the Denver Broncos’ schedule for 2022 (the dates and times will be announced Thursday), but we do know all of the team’s opponents (home and way) for this fall.

With that known information, we can calculate how far the Broncos will travel for road games this season. Bill Speros of Bookies.com recently published a list of the travel miles for every NFL team this year and Denver is No. 2 on the list, only trailing the Seattle Seahawks.

The Broncos are set to travel 27,398 miles this year, passing through 32 different time zones. The Seahawks edge them out with 29,446 miles and 34 time zones.

Elsewhere in the AFC West, the Los Angeles Chargers will travel the seventh-most miles (23,266), the Las Vegas Raiders have the ninth-most (20,734) and the Kansas City Chiefs are in the middle of the pack at 17th-most (16,746).

If not for a trip overseas to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, Denver would have 21,527 travel miles this year (including an East Coast trip to Jacksonville). That would rank as the eighth-most in the NFL.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have the easiest travel schedule in the NFL this year (6,442 miles) because they won’t be leaving the Eastern time zone. Check out the full list of travel miles on Bookies.com.
