ENGLEWOOD, Colo.The AFC Championship Game is set.

The Broncos will host the New England Patriots on Sunday, Jan. 25, at 1 p.m. MT on CBS.

A day after the Broncos' 33-30 overtime win over the Bills, the Patriots knocked off the Texans to earn the other spot in this year's conference championship game.

Including this year's matchup, the Broncos will have played the Patriots in each of their last three AFC Championship Game appearances. Denver won both of the previous meetings, which came at Empower Field at Mile High.

The Broncos are 4-0 all-time at home against the Patriots in the playoffs, and Denver holds a 6-1 all-time mark in home AFC Championship Games.

With a win, the Broncos would advance to Super Bowl LX and earn their ninth conference championship in franchise history.
