A full month out from the start of the NFL playoffs, the 11-2 Broncos — per league policy — are preparing their fans for a potential playoff matchup at Empower Field. On Thursday, the club sent an email to its season-ticket holders notifying them of the possibility of buying home playoff tickets . It’s an increasingly likely outcome come January, as the Broncos can officially clinch a playoff berth with a win over the Packers on Sunday and are in prime position — currently tied with the New England Patriots for the No. 1 seed in the AFC — to host a home game in the postseason. The Broncos earned the No. 7 seed in the AFC in 2024, traveling to face the second-seeded Buffalo Bills in a 31-7 loss in the wild-card round. If the club holds onto a top-four seed in the AFC in the final four-game stretch in 2025, a playoff game will come to Denver for the first time since 2015’s Super Bowl season.

Broncos’ Marvin Mims Jr. named AFC special teams player of the week The Broncos, like other NFL teams, offer a “Pay as We Play” option to season-ticket holders that lets them opt in to purchase their regular seats for any potential playoff game. The Broncos told The Denver Post that 80% of the team’s season-ticket base has already signed up for “Pay as We Play.” For those who didn’t opt in, the Broncos will make a limited number of tickets available in the event of an AFC wild-card matchup or divisional-round matchup at Empower Field. If the Broncos hold on to the top seed in the AFC, they’ll earn a bye in the wild-card round and prepare to host a divisional-round game at Empower Field during the Jan. 17-18 weekend. If Denver drops to a No. 2, No. 3 or No. 4 seed, though, they’ll host a wild-card game the weekend of Jan. 10-12. “We’re extremely excited about it,” quarterback Bo Nix said Wednesday, of a playoff feel for the Broncos’ matchups in December. “And happy to be in this position this year.” Want more Broncos news?
