DENVER -- For the first time in 46 seasons and only the third time in club history, the Denver Broncos will host a Thanksgiving game when they play the New York Giants at Invesco Field at Mile High.

Kickoff for the Nov. 26 game will be at 6:20 p.m.

The game will be televised on NFL Network. It's not clear yet which station, locally, will show the game.

The Broncos last played at home on Thanksgiving on Nov. 28, 1963, when they lost 26-10 to Oakland at Bears Stadium.

The club is 3-7 all-time on Thanksgiving, posting an 0-2 mark at home and a 3-5 record on the road.

This will be the third time in the last five seasons that Denver will play on Thanksgiving. The Broncos last played on Thanksgiving on Nov. 23, 2006, when Kansas City defeated them 19-10 at Arrowhead Stadium.

In a tradition that began in 2004, the Super Bowl champion annually hosts the NFL Thursday-night season kickoff the following year. On Sept. 10 at 8:30 p.m., the Super Bowl XLIII champion Pittsburgh Steelers will host the AFC South champion Tennessee Titans, who had an NFL-best 13-3 record last season.

The Sunday night primetime game will feature a division matchup as the Green Bay Packers host the Chicago Bears. Green Bay and Chicago have won seven of the past eight NFC North titles.

On Monday night, Sept. 14, ESPN will host a Monday Night Football doubleheader that will be part of the NFL’s celebration of the 50th anniversary season of the American Football League. The four clubs competing that night began playing in the inaugural 1960 AFL season.

The first game (7:00 p.m. ET) will send the Buffalo Bills to Foxboro to visit the New England Patriots, the decade's winningest team (102-42 since 2000). The MNF nightcap (10:15 PM ET) will be an AFC West battle as the Oakland Raiders host the three-time defending AFC West champion San Diego Chargers.

The NFL will feature three nationally-televised games on Thanksgiving Day.

The early game (FOX, 12:30 PM ET) will be an NFC North meeting of the Green Bay Packers at the Detroit Lions. The second game (CBS, 4:15 PM ET) features the Oakland Raiders visiting the Dallas Cowboys in the Raiders’ first Thanksgiving game since 1970. The Thanksgiving primetime game will be at 8:20 PM ET on NFL Network with the defending NFC East champion New York Giants visiting the Denver Broncos.

The announcement of the Kickoff Weekend and Thanksgiving games was made Monday by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell at the NFL Annual Meeting in Dana Point, Calif.

The rest of the 2009 regular-season schedule will be completed and announced in April.
