The Broncos will play the teams from the AFC East and the NFC South as well as the second-place teams from the AFC North and AFC South.

According to the Broncos website, the game against the Atlanta Falcons may not be played in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta is scheduled to play one of the games against a non-division opponent at an international location. The last time the Broncos played an international game was in 2010 at Wembley Stadium in London, as the San Francisco 49ers beat the Broncos 24-16.

The Broncos will also play six games against 2019 playoffs teams in the Chiefs (x2), Patriots, Bills, Saints and Titans.
