Weeks 1-6. The Broncos will be tested out of the gate. They open the season at home against Tennessee, but four of their first six games will be away from Denver, including their Week 6 game against the Jets in London. The Broncos also will not have a bye after their London trip, so must recover quickly for home games in Weeks 7-9.

The Vikings and Broncos have each played on Christmas a total of four times. Minnesota is 1–3 in those games and Denver is 2–2.

There are only nine regular-season home games, with the first matchup on Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans, with tickets going for as low as $151. Meanwhile, if you want to watch the Broncos take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in December with the newly drafted Travis Hunter, tickets are as low as $80.

Bo Nix, Patrick Mahomes, and fans of the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs now know where they’ll be on Dec. 25. The NFL announced a Christmas Day matchup between the AFC West rivals, set to take place in what could be a snowy Kansas City.
