The Denver Broncos are hitting the road in a big way for the 2026 NFL season—but not as big as last year. With nine away games and eight home matchups at Empower Field at Mile High, the team is set to log 19,129 travel miles, ranking 15th in the league. That's a welcome break from 2025, when a trip to London pushed their total to 23,267 miles and a seventh-place ranking, according to Bill Speros of Bookies.com.

No international game this time around keeps the Broncos in the middle of the pack, which is a relief for players and gear bags alike. Across the AFC West, travel demands vary widely: the Los Angeles Chargers will cover 24,816 miles (seventh-most), the Las Vegas Raiders trek 21,099 miles (13th-most), and the Kansas City Chiefs log 18,401 miles (17th-most). It's a mixed bag for division rivals, making every road trip a test of endurance—and a chance to rep your favorite team's gear on the go.

League-wide, the 32 NFL teams will combine for a staggering 628,873 miles this season. That's enough to circle the Earth 25.2 times or travel 2.63 times the distance to the Moon. Six teams will even surpass the 24,901-mile equatorial circumference. Leading the pack are the San Francisco 49ers (38,105 miles) and Los Angeles Rams (34,847 miles), both heading to Australia for a showdown. On the flip side, the Carolina Panthers have the lightest load at just 8,740 miles.

For Broncos fans, this season's schedule offers a chance to see the team in action without the extreme jet lag of 2025. Whether you're following from the stands or cheering from home, every mile adds to the story—and makes that orange and blue gear feel even more essential.
