Denver Broncos release 2026 uniform schedule — Orange Crush throwbacks return twice

I’ll just say it: when the Broncos released their 2026 uniform schedule Wednesday, I got more excited than I did for the actual game schedule back in May. And judging by social media, I’m not alone. Broncos fans have been begging for a full-season jersey breakdown, and the team finally delivered, all 17 games, mapped out by uniform.

Now, let’s get to the only part that truly matters: the throwbacks are back, baby. The Broncos will break out their beloved 1977 Orange Crush-inspired throwback jerseys twice this season, first on “Thursday Night Football” in Week 6 against the Seahawks on Oct. 15, and again in the regular-season finale in Week 18 against the Chargers. The Week 6 matchup is especially tasty: Seattle will be wearing their own royal blue retro uniforms, making it a full-blown throwback showdown under the prime-time lights. Those throwbacks, orange jersey, white and blue shoulder stripes, white pants with orange and blue side stripes and the old-school light-blue helmet with the Bronco-in-the-D logo that was used from 1968 to 1996, have been an absolute fan obsession since they debuted to rave reviews in 2024. Denver has now worn them in each of its last two regular-season finales, and the tradition continues.

Beyond the throwbacks, the full breakdown goes like this: Summit White road jerseys for all nine away games, Sunset Orange at home four times, Midnight Navy alternates for the Week 3 Rams game and the Week 16 Bills Christmas game on Netflix and the two throwback dates. Pant and sock combos will be revealed each week, because the Broncos understand that drip is a season-long commitment.

So circle Oct. 15 and the Week 18 finale on your calendar, not for the opponents, not for the playoff implications, but for the jerseys.
