Denver Nuggets Internship 2027–2028: Deadlines & How to Apply

Last updated: October 2026

Denver Nuggets internships are hired by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE), the company that also owns the Avalanche, Mammoth and Rapids, and there's no summer class to wait for. KSE posts intern roles one at a time on its own job board. On 17 October 2026 the board listed two internships tied to Nuggets games: a part-time Nuggets Video Intern at $19.29 an hour whose stated deadline of 21 August 2026 had passed but was still listed, and a Production Broadcast Intern marked "open until filled." Here's the cycle in plain words: KSE publishes no calendar, so there's no month to circle. Check the board weekly and apply the week a role appears. Both open roles are part-time with evening and weekend hours.

Quick Facts

KSE hires Nuggets interns role by role. On 17 October 2026 one Nuggets Video Intern posting was past its stated deadline and one Production Broadcast Intern role was open until filled, both at $19.29 an hour.

The Nuggets-linked roles ask for video editing, game-night production and content for social platforms, so a finished project helps. Externships are short, remote programs where you complete a real project for a real company, most commonly over 8 weeks. The Beats by Dre Creative Advertising Strategy Externship fits the content and storytelling work, and the Pinterest Gen Z Consumer Behavior Externship fits fan-audience and social roles.

What Is a Denver Nuggets Internship?

A Denver Nuggets internship is a paid, part-time role hired by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE), the Denver company that owns the Nuggets, the Colorado Avalanche, the Colorado Mammoth and the Colorado Rapids and operates Ball Arena. KSE doesn't run a Nuggets-only program. Its internship program page says KSE offers internships "in numerous departments throughout the organization," and each role is posted on its own. Today's Nuggets-linked roles are a video intern for Mile High Studios, which makes content for the Nuggets' social, digital and in-game platforms, and a broadcast intern who supports game-night production at Ball Arena. Sister teams' roles, such as the Rapids' academic advisor and safeguarding interns, aren't Nuggets internships. The NBA's league office hires separately; see our NBA internship guide.

When Do Denver Nuggets Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?

KSE doesn't publish a recruiting calendar. Intern roles go up individually, and their windows differ: the Nuggets Video Intern carried a stated end date of 21 August 2026, while the Production Broadcast Intern says "open until filled." A snapshot of KSE's TeamWork Online board from 16 September 2025 shows four intern-titled roles, none of them Nuggets-branded, so a Nuggets internship isn't guaranteed to be on the board in any given month. That means applications for the 2027 season can't be projected to a date. The plan is to check the board weekly and apply the week a role appears.

How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.

Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open

KSE's roles are rolling and uneven. The Production Broadcast Intern is open until filled, which means it can come down the day a candidate accepts. The Nuggets Video Intern shows what happens at the other extreme: its posting named an end date of 21 August 2026, yet the listing was still up eight weeks later, so a fixed deadline on this board isn't a reliable guide to what's still accepting applications. With one seat per role, apply the week you see it, and check the board weekly rather than waiting for a season to start.

Which Denver Nuggets Internship Programs Should You Target?

These are the internships tied to Nuggets games on KSE's board on 17 October 2026. Titles and departments change as roles are filled.

Find every role on the KSE careers page. Game-day and event-staff jobs on the same board, such as security, concierge and youth coaching, are part-time jobs, not internships.

What Are the Eligibility Requirements?

The two open roles set different bars:

• Video Intern: a high school degree or equivalent is required; a bachelor's in video production or a related field, or a mix of degree and experience, is preferred. It asks for 2+ years of video production experience.

• Production Broadcast Intern: enrolled in a degree program at a college or university, plus 2+ years of production or broadcast experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience. The posting also asks you to lift 25 lbs.

• Tools: Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop for the video role; editing systems, video cameras and Adobe Creative Cloud for broadcast.

• Availability: nights and weekends on both roles.

• Location: Denver, on-site.

• GPA, academic credit and work authorization: not stated in either posting.

Do You Need to Be a Current Student?

Not for the video role, which asks for a high school degree, not enrollment. The broadcast role does require enrollment. Both ask for about two years of production experience, but the broadcast posting accepts an equivalent mix of education and experience, so campus media, a student TV station or live-event work can count. If you're a freshman or sophomore, build a reel now.

What Skills Do the Denver Nuggets Look For, and How Do You Build Them?

Only two Nuggets-linked postings are open, so this is a narrow sample. Both want production experience (2+ years or equivalent) and game-night availability. Both list Adobe software, with Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop named for the video role. The video role adds concept development, logging and media management, and the broadcast role adds melting and logging highlights, video conversion and file management. Both ask for the ability to multitask and communicate in writing and speech.

Note: There's no skills chart on this page: only two Nuggets-linked internship postings were open on 17 October 2026 (Video Intern and Production Broadcast Intern), too few to chart. We'll add one when more KSE roles are posted.

Build These Skills Before You Apply

Each skill below comes from a Nuggets-linked KSE posting and maps to a remote Externship you can finish while you wait for the next role.

For the video role, an Externship deliverable can sit in your reel next to your own edits, which is what the posting's two-years-of-experience bar rewards.

What Is the Denver Nuggets Application and Interview Process Like?

KSE doesn't publish its interview steps. This is what the postings and program page show:

1. Find the role. Open ballarena.com/careers and look under "Internships (all locations)." Each internship is its own posting.

2. Match the posting. Apply to the internship you're qualified for; KSE's program page asks you to apply to the specific internship, not in general.

3. Apply. Click Apply Now on the posting and complete the application.

4. Prepare the reel. The video and broadcast roles both lean on production experience, so be ready to show it.

5. Interview and offer. Interview rounds and the start date aren't published.

Neither posting names an interview format, a start date or a return-offer path.

What Students on Reddit Say

We found one first-hand Nuggets internship thread, from 2017, so treat the advice as dated. It still matches how KSE posts roles today.

How Do You Stand Out for a Nuggets Internship?

Three moves. First, apply to KSE, not just the Nuggets. A 2017 Reddit commenter who interned at KSE in 2003 said the hiring runs through KSE, and the board still works that way. Second, show production work. Both open roles ask for about two years of experience, so a reel of game-night edits, campus broadcasts or live-event work does more than a cover letter. Third, be flexible and local. The roles are in Denver and run on game nights and weekends. KSE publishes no applicant count and no conversion rate, so treat the internship as a way in and ask about full-time paths once you're on the team.

FAQ

Can I still apply for a summer 2026 Denver Nuggets internship?

No. We found no Nuggets summer class. The one Nuggets-branded intern posting on its board named an end date of 21 August 2026, though it was still listed on 17 October. A Production Broadcast Intern role that supports Nuggets games was open until filled.

Who hires Denver Nuggets interns?

Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE). KSE owns the Nuggets, Avalanche, Mammoth and Rapids and runs Ball Arena, and it posts every intern role on one board. Apply to the specific internship you're qualified for, because KSE has no Nuggets-only application.

Are Denver Nuggets internships paid?

Yes. Both open roles list a base hourly rate of $19.29, and the postings mention a 401K with employer match. The Video Intern is part-time at 29 hours a week. The broadcast role is part-time hourly. KSE doesn't mention academic credit in either posting.

When do Denver Nuggets internship applications open?

KSE publishes no calendar, so we can't project a date. It posts intern roles one at a time, and the Nuggets Video Intern named an end date of 21 August 2026. Check the KSE board weekly and set a TeamWork Online alert for Kroenke Sports & Entertainment.

Do I need to be in college to apply?

Not always. The Video Intern asks for a high school degree and prefers a bachelor's, while the Production Broadcast Intern requires enrollment in a degree program. Both ask for about two years of production experience or an equivalent mix of education and experience.

Is a Nuggets internship the same as an Avalanche internship?

No. KSE hires for both teams through one program, but each internship is its own posting. The Production Broadcast Intern supports both teams' games, while the Video Intern is the Nuggets' own. See our Colorado Avalanche internship guide for the NHL side.

Is the Denver Nuggets internship the same as the NBA internship?

No. The NBA league office runs its own internship program, and the Nuggets hire through KSE. A league-office role won't put you on the Nuggets' staff or the other way round. See our NBA internship guide for the league's program.

Do Nuggets interns get full-time offers?

KSE doesn't publish a conversion rate or class size. A 2017 Reddit commenter who interned at KSE said ticket sales is a common way into PR, game operations and team operations. Treat the internship as a way in, not a promised path.

KSE's board has two Nuggets-linked internships right now, and new roles appear without a calendar. Check it weekly, and if you want a finished project or reel piece to show, a remote Externship takes about 5 to 10 hours a week.
