NFL announces start date for Broncos training camp

June 22, 2026 - 18:13

The Denver Broncos have locked in their training camp schedule, with rookies set to report on July 22 and veterans following on July 28. The team announced the dates as part of the NFL's broader rollout of camp timelines across the league.

This marks the beginning of a critical offseason for the Broncos, who are looking to build on their recent progress under head coach Sean Payton. The early reporting date for rookies gives first-year players extra time to acclimate to the team's system and conditioning demands before the full squad arrives.

Training camp will take place at the team's facility in Englewood, Colorado, rather than a remote location. The Broncos have held camp at their headquarters in recent years, allowing fans to attend select practices. Specific practice schedules and open sessions have not yet been released, but the team typically announces those details closer to the start date.

For veterans, the July 28 reporting day means the full roster will be on the field together for the first time since offseason workouts concluded. The Broncos face key questions heading into camp, including battles for starting positions along the offensive line and in the secondary. Quarterback competition is also expected to draw attention, though the team has not publicly committed to a starter.

The NFL's staggered camp start dates are designed to give rookies a head start while allowing veterans a slightly longer break before the grind of the preseason begins. Denver's first preseason game is tentatively scheduled for mid-August, though the league has not finalized the full exhibition slate.
