We don’t even have a date yet, but there’s one matchup on the Denver Broncos‘ upcoming 2025 schedule that everyone will have circled on their calendars.
The Broncos’ list of 2025 opponents was finalized on Sunday and the team’s slate of home opponents includes a rematch with the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bengals beat the Broncos 30-24 in Week 17, but Denver then eliminated Cincinnati from playoff contention with a convincing win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18.
The Broncos will be looking to counter their 2024 loss to the Bengals, and Cincinnati will be looking to let out some steam after Denver ultimately kept them out of the playoffs.
It’s the kind of game that would be perfect for a prime-time spotlight.
The Broncos’ full list of 2025 opponents features the AFC West, AFC South and NFC East, plus same-place finishers from the AFC North (Bengals), AFC East (New York Jets) and NFC North (Green Bay Packers).
In addition to facing Joe Burrow, Denver’s defense will also face a tough list of quarterbacks including Jayden Daniels, Justin Herbert, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott and C.J. Stroud.
With an unbalanced 17-game schedule, the AFC and NFC rotate having eight or nine home games each season. After playing eight games at Empower Field at Mile High in 2024, the Broncos will have nine home games in 2025.
