Broncos gameday is finally here!

The Denver Broncos wrap up Week 1 of the 2026 NFL campaign with a division clash against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday Night Football. AFC West positioning is immediately at stake after an opening-week defeat by the Los Angeles Chargers and a victory by the Las Vegas Raiders.

Quarterback Bo Nix is anticipated to make his comeback after suffering a broken right ankle during a January playoff meeting with the Buffalo Bills.

Teammate Courtland Sutton has voiced enthusiasm about the quarterback's return as Nix approaches several franchise records in the contest. Defensive standout Patrick Surtain II has likewise emphasized shifting momentum in favor of Denver, which aims to build on last season's strong defensive showing and offensive progress.
