Broncos Don Sunset Orange for 2025 Season Opener as Team Aims to Build on Playoff Success

New Season, High Expectations

The 2025 season marks the Denver Broncos’ 56th year in the National Football League, with the team entering its third year under head coach Sean Payton and fourth under the Walton-Penner family group ownership.

Coming off an impressive campaign that saw the team reach its first postseason appearance since their Super Bowl 50 victory, the Broncos enter the new season having apparently solved their quarterback situation.

Season Opener Details

The Broncos will begin their season against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, September 7, with kickoff scheduled for 2:05 p.m. MT on FOX. The game could feature a showdown with Cam Ward, the first overall pick from the 2025 NFL Draft. After sporting white jerseys throughout the preseason, Denver will don their Sunset Orange jerseys for the opener, a uniform in which they posted an impressive 4-1 record last year.

Key Personnel and Changes

The Broncos have strengthened their roster with notable additions from the Bay Area, including linebacker Dre Greenlaw and safety Talanoa Hufanga, both considered potential game-changers, though they are coming back from injury-affected seasons.

The defense, which played a crucial role in the team’s success last season, now carries even higher expectations after helping secure a playoff berth and adding new talent to the roster.

Looking Ahead

The 2025 schedule reflects the team’s elevated status, with five primetime games already scheduled and the potential for a sixth with their Week 18 flex game against the Chargers, which could have significant playoff implications. The team’s historical success in season openers is notable, as they have won seven of their last 10 Week 1 home games and are tied with the Dallas Cowboys for the most wins in season openers since 1960.
