Denver Broncos

What Denver Broncos does

The Denver Broncos are a privately held professional American football franchise and one of 32 teams in the National Football League (NFL), headquartered in Englewood, Colorado at 13655 Broncos Parkway (Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit), and playing home games at Empower Field at Mile High, a 76,125-seat stadium in Denver. Founded in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL), the team joined the NFL in the 1970 AFL-NFL merger and has won three Super Bowls (1997, 1998, 2015). Since 2022, the franchise has been owned by the Walton-Penner family (Rob Walton, Greg Penner, Carrie Walton Penner), who acquired the team for approximately $4.65 billion. The legal entity Denver Broncos Team, LLC operates alongside a wholly-owned subsidiary, Stadium Management Company, LLC.

The franchise generates revenue across five primary streams: ticket sales (season packages, individual game tickets, premium suites at Empower Field), shared NFL national media rights (CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN/ABC, Amazon Prime, NFL+), merchandise and apparel through the Broncos Pro Shop, corporate sponsorships (CommonSpirit Health naming rights to the training facility, Empower Solar naming rights to the stadium, plus partners including Gatorade, Ent Credit Union, United Airlines, Xcel Energy, Children's Hospital Colorado, and Riddell), and licensing/naming rights. Distribution spans the stadium box office, online Pro Shop, NFL Ticket Exchange, official mobile app, and national broadcast partnerships. A digital ecosystem comprises the official website, mobile app, and three podcasts (Altitude Advantage, plus Spanish-language Broncast and Entre Amigos).

The Broncos are currently rebuilding competitive momentum under head coach Sean Payton (hired 2023, extended through 2030) and GM George Paton (extended through 2030), with QB Bo Nix leading the offense. Following a 2025 season that produced 14 wins, the AFC's No. 1 seed, and an AFC Championship Game appearance, the franchise is investing heavily in infrastructure: a $175 million new Broncos Park training facility is under construction in Aurora, and ownership has announced plans for a potential new retractable-roof stadium at Burnham Yard by 2031. Off-field, the Denver Broncos Foundation runs the ALL IN. ALL COVERED. statewide initiative (2026-2030) targeting more than 17,000 youth across Colorado with helmet safety equipment, registration fee funding, and flag/tackle football programming in partnership with Riddell, Every Kid Sports, Good Sports, and others.
