Traditional Television: The Tried and True Method

For many of us, the first thought that comes to mind when wanting to watch a Broncos game is, "What channel is the game on?" Traditional television has long been the cornerstone of sports viewing, and for good reason. It's familiar, reliable, and offers a high-quality viewing experience. The most common channels you'll need to keep an eye on include:

  • Local Channels: The Broncos games are typically broadcast on your local channels. Check your local listings (like your TV guide or your local news website) to find out which channel has the broadcast for each game. Depending on your location, you might find it on stations like CBS, NBC, or FOX.
  • National Channels: Games are often broadcast nationally. You'll find these games on channels like ESPN, NFL Network, and, of course, the network that is broadcasting the game for that week. ESPN typically airs Monday Night Football, and NFL Network has their own exclusive games throughout the season.
  • Over-the-Air (OTA) Reception: If you're looking to save some money, consider using an over-the-air antenna. This will allow you to watch the games on your local channels for free. The quality is usually great, and you won't need a cable subscription.

Why Traditional TV? It's a straightforward solution with no need to mess with streaming apps or internet connectivity. However, depending on your cable package, you might be paying a monthly fee. But, if you have cable or satellite already, you're pretty much set.

Streaming Services: The Modern Way to Watch

Alright, so you're cutting the cord, eh? Streaming services have revolutionized how we consume media, and sports are no exception. Thankfully, there are tons of options available that let you stream the Broncos games, no matter where you are. Here are some of the top contenders:

  • NFL+: This is the official NFL streaming service. NFL+ offers live local and primetime regular season and postseason games on your phone or tablet. However, this service doesn't include live games on your TV unless you're watching it on your local channel. However, it provides other great features such as on-demand replays, NFL Network programming, and audio of every game. This is a great option for fans who want to watch the games on the go!
  • Streaming Services with Live TV: Services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and FuboTV bundle a bunch of live TV channels, including the ones that broadcast NFL games. These are a great option if you want to watch a variety of content in addition to sports. Be sure to check which channels are included in each service's package and see if they carry the local channels in your area that broadcast Broncos games.
  • Amazon Prime Video: Amazon has the rights to Thursday Night Football. So, if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can watch those games for free!
  • Paramount+: You can stream your local CBS station live with Paramount+, allowing you to watch the games broadcast on that network. This is a great option if you want to watch a variety of content in addition to sports.

The Perks of Streaming: You get the convenience of watching games on various devices (phones, tablets, smart TVs, etc.), and often you can watch on-demand replays. Plus, you often don't have to commit to long-term contracts like with cable or satellite.

Going Out: Watching the Game at Your Favorite Bar

Sometimes, there's nothing better than cheering on the Broncos with fellow fans, surrounded by good food and drinks. Watching the game at a bar is a classic experience, offering an electric atmosphere. Here's what to look for:

  • Sports Bars: Obvious, right? But not all sports bars are created equal. Find one that's known for showing NFL games. Check to see if the bar has multiple TVs, and if it's likely they'll be showing the Broncos game. This will guarantee the best viewing experience. Look for places with sound, great food, and a lively crowd.
  • Local Restaurants: Many local restaurants and pubs also show NFL games. These can be more low-key options, offering a slightly different vibe than a traditional sports bar. Check online or give them a call to see if they will be showing the Broncos game.
  • Call Ahead: Always call the bar or restaurant beforehand to confirm they will be showing the game, especially if it's a game with a smaller market. Also, ask about any specials they might be running, such as food and drink deals.

The Bar Experience: The energy, the camaraderie, and the lack of having to do dishes. It's a fantastic way to watch the game, especially if you enjoy socializing. It can be a bit more expensive than watching at home, but the atmosphere is often worth it!

Other Options and Considerations

Alright, now that we've covered the main methods, let's check out some other things to keep in mind.

  • NFL Sunday Ticket: The NFL Sunday Ticket is now exclusively available on YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels. It lets you watch every out-of-market game, making it a must-have for fans who want to follow the Broncos even when they're playing away games and not on national TV. This can be a fantastic option if you don't live in the Denver market.
  • International Fans: If you're outside the U.S., options may vary. Check your local sports providers for NFL game broadcasts or explore international streaming services. The NFL also offers a streaming service for international viewers.
  • Radio: Don't forget about the radio! You can listen to the Broncos games on the radio, which is a great option if you're driving or otherwise unable to watch the game. Check your local listings for the Broncos' radio broadcast stations.
  • Mobile Devices: Mobile devices have opened a lot of opportunities for watching sports. You can watch games on your phone or tablet with the NFL app, streaming services, or even on your mobile web browser.

Pro-Tips:

  • Check the Schedule: Always, always, always check the Broncos' schedule. Game times and channels can vary from week to week.
  • Consider Your Location: Your location influences which channels and services are available to you.
  • Free Trials: Take advantage of free trials offered by streaming services to see what works best for you.
