Denver Broncos 2026 season outlook

Overview

Following a successful 2025 season where the Denver Broncos won the AFC West and reached the AFC championship game, the team faces uncertain projections for the 2026 season. Initial outlooks vary, with some simulations suggesting a potential decline to a 7-10 record, while others project an average of approximately 9.2 wins.

Subsequent statistical analysis has identified the Broncos as a primary candidate for performance regression. Analysts point to the team’s high win rate in close contests during the previous season—specifically nine wins in games decided by seven points or fewer—as a metric that is difficult to replicate year over year.
