NFL Week 1: How to watch the Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs game with DIRECTV

Week 1 of the 2026 NFL campaign concludes with an AFC West clash at Arrowhead Stadium, where Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs welcome the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football. Patrick Mahomes is anticipated to take the field for Kansas City a mere nine months after suffering tears to his ACL and LCL, having taken full part in preparatory team workouts.

The contest highlights two signal-callers coming off severe physical setbacks, with Denver's previous postseason run halted after Bo Nix sustained an ankle problem following their division crown.

Denver wideout Courtland Sutton expressed gratitude for the opportunity to inaugurate the year in a primetime setting, joining a squad that features one of the league's premier defensive units. Football viewers can tune into the divisional battle through a DIRECTV subscription.
