Broncos announce 13 open training camp dates, limited attendance due to ongoing construction

The Broncos on Tuesday announced they’re set to hold 13 training camp practices that are open to fans this summer.

Seating, however, will be substantially curtailed due to the ongoing construction of the team’s new headquarters.

Sean Payton’s team reports to camp July 22 and then goes through a series of ramp-up workouts before the first two open training camp dates of the summer on Friday and Saturday, July 25-26.

The team then has six straight days of open practices the following week, running Monday, July 28 through Saturday, Aug. 2.

The Broncos are also hosting fans Aug. 4-5 before they head to California for an Aug. 7 joint practice and Aug. 9 preseason opener against the San Francisco 49ers.

Then the team returns to Denver and hosts the final three open practices of the summer from Aug. 12-14, culminating with a joint practice against Arizona before the teams square off Aug. 16 at Empower Field in the second of three preseason games.

The Broncos close the preseason Aug. 23 at New Orleans and open the regular season Sept. 7 at home against Tennessee.

Each open practice begins at 10 a.m. Parking lots open at 8 a.m.

The club is in transition at Broncos Park, which will impact fan attendance this year.

The berm adjacent to the team’s practice fields is gone, swallowed up by the massive new headquarters being built. In the future, it will return on the opposite side of the practice fields where the team’s current building is, but this year is a construction year.

As such, the club plans to erect temporary bleachers off the end of the practice fields but the seating will be limited to about 800. Last year, the Broncos averaged about 2,200 fans on the first weekend of camp and a shade under 2,000 across 15 open practice total.

Tickets to training camp practices are free but they are required in order to attend. Season ticket members have a chance to claim  a limited number beginning 10 a.m. Tuesday and the general public can reserve tickets beginning 10 a.m. Wednesday via Ticketmaster.

According to a team release, there are fewer than 300 parking spots available at the team’s facility and they’ll be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Broncos owner and CEO Greg Penner said earlier this spring that the club was intent on having fans at practices this year despite the construction. The target is for the building to be completed next summer, meaning a new, more permanent setup for fan access to training camp beginning in 2026.

“We’ll have a number of practices that are open to fans, and we’ll accommodate them,” Penner said of the 2025 construction. “We really want to make that happen. Again, the intent is for this to only be one training camp where it really affects us.”
