Den 12. januar 2015, en dag efter det førnævnte nederlag til Colts i Divisional Playoff, blev Broncos og cheftræner John Fox enige om at gå fra hinanden. Fox forlod Broncos med en sejrsprocent på 0,719 i sine fire sæsoner som Broncos' head coach - den højeste i franchisens historie. En uge senere ansatte Broncos Gary Kubiak som holdets 15. cheftræner. Kubiak var reservequarterback for vicepræsident/general manager John Elway fra 1983-1991 og var Broncos' offensive koordinator fra 1995-2005. Kort efter Kubiak blev head coach, gennemgik Broncos adskillige ændringer i deres trænerstab, herunder ansættelsen af forsvarskoordinator Wade Phillips, under hvem Broncos' forsvar lå nr. 1 i NFL i 2015-sæsonen. Broncos sluttede med en 12-4-rekord og AFC's førsteplads, til trods for at Peyton Manning havde sin dårligste statistiske sæson siden sit rookie-år hos Indianapolis Colts i 1998 og reservequarterback Brock Osweiler vikarierede for Manning i anden halvdel af den regulære sæson, fordi Manning led af en fodskade. I slutspillet besejrede Broncos Pittsburgh Steelers 23-16 i divisionsrunden, New England Patriots 20-18 i AFC-mesterskabet og besejrede Carolina Panthers 24-10 i Super Bowl 50 - Broncos' tredje Super Bowl-titel.

On January 12, 2015, one day after the aforementioned Divisional playoff loss to the Colts, the Broncos and head coach John Fox mutually agreed to part ways. Fox left the Broncos with a .719 winning percentage in his four seasons as the Broncos' head coach—the highest in franchise history. One week later, the Broncos hired Gary Kubiak as the team's 15th head coach. Kubiak served as a backup quarterback to executive vice president/general manager John Elway from 1983–1991, as well as the Broncos' offensive coordinator from 1995–2005. Shortly after Kubiak became head coach, the Broncos underwent numerous changes to their coaching staff, including the hiring of defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, under whom the Broncos' defense ranked No. 1 in the NFL during the 2015 season. The Broncos finished with a 12–4 record and the AFC's No. 1 seed, despite Peyton Manning having his worst statistical season since his rookie year with the Indianapolis Colts in 1998 and backup quarterback Brock Osweiler filling in for Manning during the second half of the regular season due to Manning suffering from a foot injury. In the playoffs, the Broncos defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 23–16 in the Divisional Round, the New England Patriots 20–18 in the AFC Championship, and defeated the Carolina Panthers 24–10 in Super Bowl 50—the Broncos' third Super Bowl title.
