The Denver Broncos have been rumored as a team that could be playing overseas in 2020, and it's becoming clear on who they will face. Before next season's schedule is revealed, Vic Fangio is ‘assuming' that Denver will play the Atlanta Falcons in England next season.
#Broncos playing in London as visiting team against #Falcons should become official next week. Likely will come in October after east coast road game. So #Broncos would go from that city directly to London. That is Fangio’s preference. #Denver7

For quite some time, the NFL has been trying to expand the fandom of the league. In an attempt to compile more fans, the NFL has been holding games in London.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are the most common team to play in London due to striking a deal to play in London through the 2020 season. As a matter of fact, the Jaguars will have two home games in London in 2020, the first team to do so in NFL history.
Back in November, the Falcons announced that they would be playing a home game in London in 2020. However, the team they will be facing on neutral grounds remains to be seen.
Even though it hasn't been announced by the NFL, Fangio believes that the Broncos will be chosen as the road team. The second-year coach would prefer that it come in October after an East-Coast road game. Therefore, the team can make the travel to London a bit easier.
As of now, the NFL's deal with London to play games at Wembley Stadium is set to expire after the 2020 season. But with the new CBA nearing completion, the league could turn their attention to manufacturing a new deal with London. For now, the Broncos versus the Falcons is expected to be on the slate of international games next season.
