The Denver Broncos offseason program will be here in no time as the team looks to get to the Super Bowl after falling one game shy in 2025.
Denver Broncos offseason program dates announced
Earlier this week, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton shared some insight surrounding when the team would begin their offseason program, noting that the first week of May was the expected date.
The NFL has announced the official dates for Denver’s offseason program, including when we’ll see them take the field for football-related activities.
The Broncos will start their offseason program on May 4, consisting of players lifting weights and doing conditioning for an entire month. Because the Broncos made it to the AFC Championship game, Payton didn’t want to have the players in earlier than the fourth.
“Typically we come in in April,” Payton said. “The first four weeks—I know what the league’s phases are—we kind of tweak it. I always want the first month to be weight room, nothing to do with football. So this year, we went three weeks further into the season. Our players won’t be in our building until May, the first Monday in May. I think it’s the third or fourth. All of May will just be weightlifting. You’ll see us on the field in June. We’ll have two weeks of OTAs and a week of mini camp, but I don’t want them to feel like they were just here. So we’ve done that before. I think it’s important, and I think the players appreciate it because they were just here.”
Denver’s on-field football-related activities will take place June 2-June 4 and June 8-11 for OTAs, with minicamp taking place June 16-18.
Broncos offseason program:
- Offseason Program (weights and conditioning): May 4

Broncos football is nearly here. The NFL Draft will take place on April 23, where the Broncos are slated to have seven total picks beginning with the 62nd overall selection.
