Best Way to Watch 2026 Denver Broncos Games

All 3 preseason and all 17 regular season games can be watched via local broadcast channels ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC or My Network Channel 20. All post-season games can be watched for free on major local networks too. Amazon Prime Video will broadcast two exclusive Broncos games in 2026: Thursday Night Football in Week 6 against the Seahawks, and a Black Friday matchup in Week 12 against the Steelers. Netflix has an exclusive Christmas Day game in Week 16 against the Bills. Historically, these exclusive streaming games have also been broadcast locally on My Network Channel 20.

IMPORTANT: Every Broncos game including preseason, playoffs and exclusive games on NFL Network, ESPN MNF, Amazon Prime and Netflix have historically also aired live on local Antenna channels for free! KTVD Channel 20 (My Network) is NOT available on any live TV streaming service. Consequently, those games may be blacked out (ex. NFL Network on YouTube TV, etc.).

However, if you don’t have the proper outdoor HD antenna installed properly, you will be missing channels or sacrificing quality with annoying pixelation during the game. Indoor antennas are too low powered, pointed in the wrong direction or can’t handle interference within the home. With a properly installed and configured outdoor HD Antenna, up to 80 local channels including NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC and KTVD Channel 20 can be watched for FREE, forever without any issues.

Watch Broncos regular season games for free

The 2026 regular season opens with a Monday night trip to Arrowhead to face the Chiefs. The Broncos get their home opener in Week 2 against Jacksonville.

Even the exclusive streaming games are free with an Antenna – Week 6 against the Seahawks and Week 12 against the Steelers on Amazon Prime Video, and Week 16 against the Bills on Netflix.

• Amazon Prime Video is included at no additional charge with an Amazon Prime membership. Not an Amazon Prime Member yet, signup now. Thursday and Friday night Amazon Prime games are also carried on a local network channel.
• Netflix’s Christmas Day game is included with a standard Netflix subscription, which some Denver households already have.
• NFL Network, ESPN and ESPN+ are paid channels that may or may not be included in your streaming, cable or satellite bundles. However, they are included in numerous streaming packages. In the past, all Broncos games (even MNF, TNF, and now Amazon/Netflix exclusives) have also been picked up by a local channel like My Network 20, or ABC 7. Expect to watch all Broncos games on a major local network channel. This is usually decided the week of the game, which is why an HD Antenna is so important to get all Denver Broncos games.

Outdoor HD Antennas vs. Indoor Antennas

To watch the 2026 Denver Broncos NFL games, we recommend installing an outdoor or attic HD TV Antenna. Within a single NFL season, a properly-installed outdoor or attic HD Antenna more than pays for itself. Regional sports streaming packages that include local network channels are expensive and can cost between $80 – $120 per month. The best option for NFL and all Broncos games is a TV antenna, which is also the one that most people either overlook or don’t install correctly.

Unfortunately, there is still a lot of misinformation online about indoor TV Antennas. The experts at StreamWise Solutions advise against relying on indoor antennas, as our experience has shown nothing but ongoing issues. Going cheap and buying an indoor antenna, even with a booster, often results in missing the channel(s) you care about most. And, pixelation typically results from poor signal, wrong power levels or interference. Read our best practices as it relates to TV Antennas.

Live broadcasts do not offer the joys of pause, play, rewind and fast-forward. You can record on a DVR live Broncos games and other TV in full HD for the least cost possible.

Added benefits of Whole-home HD Antennas

• Up to 80 local channels are FREE ($0 a month) forever.
• No broadcast TV fees, regional sports fees, HD fees, or taxes.
• The best, uncompressed HD picture quality.
• No Blackouts ever.
• Whole-home TV – every TV can connect to the antenna with no additional cost.

Streaming only – save on internet costs with proper wi-fi network

If you’re in an apartment without the option to watch from one of our Master TV Antenna solutions, we can still help you. Instead of installing multiple, disparate streaming apps on your TV or other device, we help you consolidate services that cover your needs (including Denver Broncos games). Plus, we ensure your wi-fi network is properly setup for streaming from any room, often reducing your internet subscription costs. Live streaming is more bandwidth intensive than streaming time-shifted content like Netflix. It’s very important to make sure your Internet speed and Wi-Fi network can handle live streaming. Without the proper setup, you may find yourself with buffering or signal quality issues.

Schedule a free expert TV and Internet consultation, and let’s get your setup right before the Broncos take that next step in 2026.
