The Broncos will travel to face the Atlanta Falcons to begin their preseason slate before hosting the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings.

Denver will face Atlanta on Friday, Aug. 14 at 7 p.m. ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The dates and times for the Broncos' preseason home games have not yet been set. Denver will host the Packers between Aug. 20-23 and the Vikings between Aug. 27-30.
