Titans Kickoff Season at Denver on Monday Night Football

The Tennessee Titans will travel to Denver to open their season against the Broncos on Monday Night Football. The game marks the Titans’ first Monday night season opener in franchise history. Kickoff at Empower Field at Mile High is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. MDT/10:20 p.m. EST on Sept. 14.

No fans will be present at the game. The Broncos, in collaboration with the state of Colorado, made the decision to not have fans present at home games for the start of their season due to the coronavirus outbreak. ESPN will broadcast the game.

Additionally last month, Nashville Mayor John Cooper and the Titans announced that the team’s home opener against the Jaguars on Sept. 20 will be held without fans as a result of COVID-19.

The Titans have three homes games scheduled in October, beginning with the Oct. 4 match-up against the Steelers. The Titans will host the Bills on Oct. 11 and the Texans on Oct. 18.

For local fans planning to travel to Nashville:

Titans President and CEO Burke Nihill says he remains hopeful to have fans in the stands for some of the games, “we remain hopeful and ready to host fans if we are to get that opportunity, but that’s really a question for the Mayor’s office.”

The Titans have a plan that would allow roughly 21-22 percent of fans safely into the 69,000-seat stadium. The NFL has mandated masks for every fan at games across the country.
