The Broncos last appeared on Thursday Night Football in Week 7, and the Broncos earned a 33-10 win over the Saints in New Orleans.

The NFL introduced new flexible scheduling rules in 2023. Under the new rules, as many as two Thursday Night Football games between weeks 13-17 may be flexed. CBS Sports reports this is the first time the league has used its flexible schedule for Thursday Night Football.

The dates and times of Denver's Week 17 and Week 18 games have not been announced.
