The Calanda Broncos are an American football team from Landquart, Switzerland. The club, formed in 1991 as the Landquart Broncos, changed its name in late 2008 after the Calanda mountain to show the club's desire to represent a larger region of Graubünden rather than just the community of Landquart.[1] With the move to the stadium in nearby Chur the club was also able to draw larger crowds for its home matches.[2] The club is the best-supported American football club in Switzerland.[3]
The club plays at the highest level of American football in Switzerland, the Nationalliga A, and has won the national championship game, the Swiss Bowl, on thirteen occasions, last in 2024.
