Denver Broncos 2026 season. Home Sundays still to come include the Raiders on Nov 22, the Dolphins on Dec 6, a Christmas Day game against the Bills, and the Chargers to close the regular season on Jan 9 or 10. On game days the stadium area and I-25 are crowded for hours, so plan suites, tailgates and rides early.
Colorado Avalanche 2026-27 season. The Avs play 42 home games at Ball Arena this season, ending with a matinee against Minnesota on April 10 before the playoffs. A winter night at an Avs game, with dinner in LoDo first, is one of the city's best evenings out.
Denver Nuggets 2026-27 season. The Nuggets opened at Oklahoma City on Oct 22 and at home on Oct 24, and the 82-game regular season ends at Ball Arena against the Thunder on April 11. Courtside seats and club suites sell out for marquee opponents, so book them early.
Light the Lights and holiday light show at the City and County Building. The city lights the City and County Building at 5 p.m. on Nov 20, and music-and-light shows play at 5:45 and 6:45 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday through Jan 24. It is a short, free stop worth adding to a downtown holiday evening.
Denver Summit FC 2027 NWSL season. Denver's new women's pro soccer club plays its second season, mainly at the 12,000-seat temporary stadium in Centennial while its permanent stadium at Santa Fe Yards is built. Its first home game in 2026 drew a league-record 63,004 fans to Empower Field.
Colorado Rapids 2027 MLS Sprint Season. MLS plays a short spring Sprint Season in 2027, so the Rapids' home dates fall between late February and early May. The stadium is northeast of downtown, so arrange your ride there and back.
Colorado Rockies 2027 season and Opening Day at Coors Field. The published schedule opens at San Francisco on Mar 25 and at Coors Field against the Dodgers on Apr 1, which is always a party across LoDo. The dates depend on a new labor deal, because MLB's collective bargaining agreement expires Dec 1, 2026.
