ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos could be headed across the pond in 2020.

The Falcons will play one of their home games next season outside of the U.S. border, and the game could be held in London. The Broncos are a candidate to travel to play against Atlanta.

President/CEO Joe Ellis said Monday he thinks it would be "really good" for the Broncos to participate in the NFL's International Series and said he has "pestered and begged" the NFL to send the Broncos to London for the first time since 2010.

Ellis said he also made a personal request to Falcons owner Arthur Blank for Denver to join Atlanta abroad this season.

"He came up to me at the last league meeting and was supportive, but the league's got to do what's best for them in terms of their international strategy," Ellis said. "I think it'd be good for the franchise, good for the organization. We had a good trip there last time with the exception of some shenanigans. It's worthwhile for the club and the organization to go there. It boosts your brand a little bit. I don't know if John [Elway] and Vic [Fangio] are too thrilled with it, but I just think it's good for us and I hope we get the opportunity. I'm basically begging to get it because I think it'd be really good for us to play there."

Ellis said he's heard that the Falcons could play in the Tottenham Hotspurs' stadium, which is in north London and opened in April of 2019. The stadium hosted a pair of NFL games in 2019.

The Falcons will play a non-divisional opponent in their international game. The Broncos join the Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions and Oakland Raiders as potential options.

The Bears and Raiders played each other in London in 2019, while Seattle visited in 2018. The Lions last played an international game in 2015.

Ellis said he hasn't heard anything official from the league about the Broncos' chances of playing in the game.
