Las Vegas Raiders Schedule 2026: Printable PDF, Times, TV Channels
The Las Vegas Raiders schedule 2026 starts at home on Sunday, September 13. Las Vegas hosts the Miami Dolphins at Allegiant Stadium at 4:25 PM ET on FOX. Kirk Cousins takes the first snap after Klint Kubiak named him the Week 1 starter on September 2.
This is the quietest schedule in the league. All 17 games sit in a Sunday afternoon window, only CBS and FOX carry them, and there is no prime time kickoff anywhere on the sheet. Las Vegas went 3-14 last season, fired Pete Carroll after one year and earned the first overall pick.
Preseason finished 1-2. Below is every date, kickoff time and TV channel for the regular season, plus a free printable schedule and a wall calendar, both sized for US Letter paper.

Las Vegas Raiders Schedule 2026: Every Game, Date and TV Channel
Home games are marked “vs” and road games “at.” All kickoff times are Eastern. Las Vegas runs on Pacific time, so local fans subtract three hours.
| Week | Date | Opponent | Time (ET) | TV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sun, Sep 13 | vs Miami Dolphins | 4:25 PM | FOX |
| 2 | Sun, Sep 20 | at Los Angeles Chargers | 4:05 PM | CBS |

| 15 | Sun, Dec 20 | vs Denver Broncos | 4:25 PM | CBS |
| 16 | Sun, Dec 27 | vs Tennessee Titans | 4:05 PM | FOX |
| 17 | Sun, Jan 3 | at Arizona Cardinals | 4:05 PM | CBS |
| 18 | TBD | at Kansas City Chiefs | TBD | TBD |
Nothing has moved since the schedule came out. Week 18 at the Kansas City Chiefs is the one open date. It lands on Saturday, January 9 or Sunday, January 10, 2027, and the league fixes it only after Week 17 ends. Sunday afternoon kickoffs from Week 5 on can also shift under flexible scheduling, so treat the 4:05 PM and 4:25 PM slots as provisional until game week.
The draw is harder than the quiet TV listing suggests. Nine of the 17 opponents reached the 2025 playoffs, five of them inside the first nine weeks, and AFC top seed Denver appears twice.
Week 10 brings the reigning champions to Allegiant Stadium after Seattle beat New England 29-13 in Super Bowl LX. The close is kinder, with four of the last five against AFC West or AFC South opponents and three of those at home.

Raiders Preseason 2026 Results
Preseason is done. Las Vegas finished 1-2 across three Thursday nights.
| Game | Date | Opponent | Result | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thu, Aug 13 | vs Arizona Cardinals | Loss | 14-27 |
| 2 | Thu, Aug 20 | at Houston Texans | Win | 22-20 |
| 3 | Thu, Aug 27 | vs San Francisco 49ers | Loss | 12-18 |
The Houston win was the one worth watching. Las Vegas trailed 17-0 after the first quarter at Reliant Stadium, then scored 22 unanswered points to take it 22-20. Kubiak used all three preseason games to sort the quarterback room before naming Cousins the starter.
What Channel is the Raiders Game On? TV Schedule
Two broadcasters carry the entire regular season.
| Network | Games | Weeks |
|---|---|---|
| CBS | 11 | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17 |
| FOX | 5 | 1, 7, 8, 12, 16 |
| TBD | 1 | 18 |
Three things to know:
- No game needs a subscription. Nothing sits on Prime Video, Netflix, Peacock or NFL Network. All 16 scheduled games air free over the air in the Las Vegas market, which is rare.
- Do not guess the channel from the opponent. The league usually sends AFC visitors to CBS and NFC visitors to FOX. Five Raiders games break that pattern, in Weeks 1, 8, 10, 12 and 16.
- Flex scheduling can still add a night game. Sunday night is eligible from Week 5, Monday night from Week 12 and Thursday night from Week 13. A winning start puts the October home dates with Kansas City and Buffalo in play.
KOMP 92.3 FM and Raider Nation Radio 920 AM carry every game, with a Spanish broadcast through the club. Out of market viewers can get the Sunday afternoon CBS and FOX games on NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube. Because the Raiders sit in only two windows all year, one subscription covers almost the whole season with no clashes.
Raiders Kickoff Times in Every Time Zone
Three kickoff windows cover the whole regular season. Pacific is the Las Vegas column.
| Eastern | Central | Mountain | Pacific (Las Vegas) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:00 PM | 12:00 PM | 11:00 AM | 10:00 AM |
| 4:05 PM | 3:05 PM | 2:05 PM | 1:05 PM |
| 4:25 PM | 3:25 PM | 2:25 PM | 1:25 PM |
Ten of the 17 games stay in the Pacific zone, counting all eight Allegiant Stadium dates plus the trips to SoFi Stadium and Levi’s Stadium. Seven leave it: New Orleans and Kansas City in Central, New England, the New York Jets and Cleveland in Eastern, and Denver and Arizona in Mountain.
Three games start before lunch in Nevada. Weeks 5, 8 and 12 kick at 1:00 PM ET, which is 10:00 AM in Las Vegas. Every other game starts at 1:05 PM or 1:25 PM local.
Arizona skips daylight saving time, which usually throws the Mountain column off by an hour. It does not affect this schedule. The one trip to State Farm Stadium falls in Week 17 on January 3, after daylight saving ends on November 1, so Phoenix reads 2:05 PM that day exactly as the table shows.
Free Printable Las Vegas Raiders Schedule 2026 (PDF)
The whole year on one page: three preseason games and all 18 regular season weeks with dates, opponents, kickoff times and TV channels. Home games print in bold so the eight Allegiant Stadium dates stand out, and every row has an empty box for the score.
The strip across the top carries the 8 and 9 home and road split, the Week 13 bye, Allegiant Stadium and Klint Kubiak. The notes panel flags what a table cannot show: no prime time games for the first time since 2010, only two broadcasters, and the three Sundays that start at 10:00 AM local. US Letter, 8.5 by 11 inches. Free, with no sign up or email.

Raiders 2026 Wall Calendar Printable (PDF)
Prefer month grids? This one runs August 2026 through January 2027. Allegiant Stadium dates are filled black, road dates are outlined in Raiders silver, preseason squares are tagged PRE, and each square carries the opponent and kickoff time.
Because every regular season game lands on a Sunday, the grid reads as one clean column down the left of each month. October is the busiest page with four Sundays in a row, three of them at home. December opens with the bye on the 6th, then three straight home dates. Also US Letter, also free.
Printing tip: pick “Actual size” or “100%” instead of “Fit to page” so the small type stays sharp.
Why the Raiders Have No Prime Time Games in 2026
The league gave Las Vegas nothing on Sunday, Monday or Thursday night. No Christmas game, no Thanksgiving game, no international trip. It is the first Raiders season without a scheduled prime time kickoff since 2010.
Recent form is the reason. Las Vegas has gone 7-27 over two seasons and finished 2025 at 3-14, scoring the fewest points and gaining the fewest yards in the league. Networks pick national windows months ahead, and the team with the worst record does not get them.
Flex scheduling is the way back. Any Sunday afternoon game from Week 5 on can move to Sunday night, Monday night from Week 12 and Thursday night from Week 13. For fans the trade is simple: no midweek late nights, no streaming account needed, and 16 of the 17 dates already fixed to a Sunday afternoon.
Kirk Cousins Starts, and the Trade That Never Happened
Kubiak named Cousins the Week 1 starter on September 2, ending a camp battle with the first overall pick. Cousins signed in April with $20 million guaranteed and played for Kubiak in Minnesota from 2019 to 2021. Fernando Mendoza is QB2 and Aidan O’Connell QB3, so all three made the 53 man roster.
The bigger story is the one that fell through. Las Vegas agreed to trade Maxx Crosby to Baltimore in March for a first round pick, then the Ravens backed out when he did not pass the physical. Crosby stayed, and he anchors the pass rush again in Week 1.
Two roster notes matter for the opener. Ashton Jeanty sprained an ankle on August 23 and Kubiak said on September 2 he expects him ready for Miami. Rookie edge Keyron Crawford went to injured reserve on August 30 with a season ending Achilles injury, and receiver Dont’e Thornton Jr. will miss at least four games.
Allegiant Stadium
Allegiant Stadium opened in 2020 in Paradise, Nevada, just west of the Strip, and seats 65,000. The translucent roof is fixed, but the natural grass field sits on a 19 million pound tray that rolls outside on 72 motors between games. Weather never touches a home date.
The eight home games run from Miami on September 13 to Tennessee on December 27. Weeks 14, 15 and 16 are three in a row, the longest home stand of the season. The building hosted Super Bowl LVIII in 2024 and is booked again for Super Bowl LXIII on February 11, 2029.
When is the Raiders Bye Week in 2026?
Week 13, the weekend of December 6. It is the second latest bye in the league. Baltimore, Indianapolis and the New York Jets share Week 13, and only Arizona and Dallas wait until Week 14.
That means 12 games before the break and five after. The rest lands well: Las Vegas plays four road games in five weeks from Week 8 to Week 12, with only the Seattle home date in the middle, then gets the bye before three straight games at Allegiant Stadium.

Raiders 2026 Coaching Staff and Key Players
- Klint Kubiak is in his first season as head coach, hired after Pete Carroll was let go on January 5. He was Seattle’s offensive coordinator in 2025. General manager John Spytek stayed through the change.
- Andrew Janocko runs the offence and Rob Leonard the defence. Joe DeCamillis takes special teams and Mike McCoy is assistant head coach.
- Maxx Crosby leads the pass rush, Brock Bowers is the top target at tight end, and Ashton Jeanty enters year two at running back.
- The line is settled at four spots: Kolton Miller at left tackle, Spencer Burford at left guard, Tyler Linderbaum at centre and DJ Glaze at right tackle. Right guard is still open between Jackson Powers-Johnson and Caleb Rogers.
How to Get Las Vegas Raiders Tickets
Home tickets run through the official Raiders ticket page, which sends single game sales to Ticketmaster. Verified resale sits on StubHub, SeatGeek and Vivid Seats. Season ticket and personal seat licence enquiries go through the club.
Allegiant Stadium draws a large travelling support, so demand tracks the visiting fan base as much as the Raiders. Kansas City in Week 4, Buffalo in Week 6 and the Rams in Week 7 fall inside a four week span and usually carry the highest resale prices. Hotel rates on the Strip move with conventions rather than the football calendar, so price the room before you commit to the seat.

Kirk Cousins. Head coach Klint Kubiak named him the Week 1 starter on September 2, 2026. Cousins signed in April with $20 million guaranteed and played for Kubiak in Minnesota from 2019 to 2021. Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick out of Indiana, is the backup, with Aidan O’Connell third.
How many Super Bowls have the Las Vegas Raiders won?
Three. Super Bowl XI on January 9, 1977 and Super Bowl XV on January 25, 1981 as the Oakland Raiders, then Super Bowl XVIII on January 22, 1984 as the Los Angeles Raiders. The franchise has won four AFC Championships and last reached a Super Bowl after the 2002 season, losing Super Bowl XXXVII to Tampa Bay.
The Las Vegas Raiders schedule 2026 is the most predictable in the league: 16 Sunday afternoons, two networks, three kickoff windows and a Week 13 bye.
Kirk Cousins starts, Klint Kubiak coaches his first game, and the season opens against Miami on September 13.
