TIME CHANGE: Broncos vs. Chargers Game Under Weather Monitoring – Updated Game Information

As the Denver Broncos prepare to face the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday, attention has shifted from the field to the skies. A winter weather system moving across Colorado is expected to impact the Denver metro area during the final weekend of the regular season, placing one of Week 18’s AFC matchups under close monitoring.

According to the National Weather Service, the system is forecast to bring periods of snow, gusty winds, and cold temperatures to the Front Range. Forecasters warn that deteriorating travel conditions and reduced visibility could affect regional transportation, stadium operations, and fan attendance.

Meteorologists note that blowing snow, icy roadways, and wind gusts approaching 40–45 mph could create logistical challenges surrounding the Broncos–Chargers game, scheduled to be played at Empower Field at Mile High. Local residents and fans traveling to the stadium are being urged to use caution and prepare for possible delays.

While the NFL has not announced any official change, league officials are actively monitoring the situation. A short kickoff adjustment remains possible if weather conditions worsen, with flexibility to delay the start time slightly in order to ensure safety for players, staff, and fans.
