Preseason Results
Las Vegas finished the preseason 1-2. The Raiders opened with a 27-14 loss to Arizona at home, followed with a 22-20 road win at Houston, and closed with an 18-12 defeat to San Francisco at Allegiant Stadium. Those results gave the coaching staff a solid evaluation period before the regular season began.
How the Regular Season Unfolds
The Raiders open at home against the Miami Dolphins, then travel to the Chargers and New Orleans. A home date with Kansas City follows, leading into a road trip to New England. After returning home to face Buffalo and the Rams, Las Vegas hits the road for games at the Jets and San Francisco. A home contest against Seattle comes next, followed by road games at Denver and Cleveland.
The bye week arrives on December 6. After the break the Raiders host the Chargers and Denver, then welcome Tennessee. The season closes with a road contest at Arizona and a finale at Kansas City (still TBA and possibly flexed to Saturday). The combination of early home opportunities, two meetings with the Chargers, Denver, and Kansas City, a late-season bye, and a demanding stretch of division games gives the schedule a clear rhythm.
Games That Stand Out
A few dates already feel bigger than the rest. The early home opener against Miami and the home date with Kansas City are clear calendar highlights. The two meetings with the Chargers, the two against Denver, and the two against Kansas City will go a long way toward deciding the AFC West. The home games against Buffalo and the Rams also land in important windows.
How to Watch Raiders Games
Most Sunday afternoon games are listed on CBS or FOX. Preseason used ESPN App and ESPN. The final contest remains TBA. Check local listings closer to each week for any flexible scheduling updates.
What This Schedule Means for Las Vegas
The 2026 Las Vegas Raiders schedule offers an early home start, multiple division matchups, and a late-season bye that arrives after a tough stretch of road games. The combination of AFC West rivalries and tougher interconference tests will keep every week meaningful. How the Raiders handle the West slate will largely determine their postseason path.
