The Buffalo Bills could be headed for another high‑profile holiday matchup.
According to reports, the Bills will play the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day, setting up a rematch less than a year after the teams met in a dramatic AFC divisional playoff game in Denver.
If confirmed, the Christmas matchup would revisit one of the most memorable games of the Bills’ 2025 postseason. Buffalo fell 33–30 in overtime to the Broncos in the divisional round, a game that swung on late field goals and ended the Bills’ Super Bowl hopes. The loss came after Buffalo had dominated Denver 31–7 at home in the wild-card round the season before.
A holiday rematch would add another layer to a schedule that is already shaping up to be one of the NFL’s most nationally visible.
Buffalo is also set to host the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving, bringing one of the NFL’s most prominent rivalries to Orchard Park. The Bills and Chiefs have developed a postseason and prime‑time history over the past several seasons, making the Thanksgiving matchup one of the most anticipated games of the year.
Reports earlier indicated the Bills are also set to face the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football in Week 5 and the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9.
Buffalo will also host the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football in Week 2, a historic game that will serve as the first‑ever home opener at the new Highmark Stadium.
The NFL is expected to announce the complete schedule later tonight.
