How to watch Jacksonville Jaguars vs Denver Broncos: TV, streaming, free options, and out-of-market guide

A pivotal AFC showdown is set for Week 16 as the Jacksonville Jaguars, holding a strong 10-4 record, travel to face the Denver Broncos in a game with significant playoff implications. The Jaguars enter the contest on a five-game winning streak, looking to solidify their bid for the AFC South title and secure a high seed for a deep postseason run. The Broncos, firmly in the hunt for their own playoff berth and competing for the AFC West crown, will aim to halt Jacksonville's momentum. Denver holds a slight 8-7 all-time series lead and has won the last two matchups between the teams, adding another layer of intrigue to this crucial late-season game.

The Jaguars' remarkable turnaround this season has been powered by quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who is playing the best football of his career. In Week 15, he delivered the highest-scoring fantasy performance by any quarterback this season. This high-stakes matchup will air nationally on FOX and stream via the FOX Sports App, with kickoff scheduled for Sunday, December 21, at 4:05 PM ET.
