Las Vegas Raiders Schedule 2026: Printable PDF, Times, TV Channels
The Las Vegas Raiders schedule 2026 opens at home in the Sunday afternoon window. Las Vegas hosts the Miami Dolphins at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, September 13 at 4:25 PM ET on FOX.
This is the quietest schedule in the league. Every one of the 17 games sits in a Sunday afternoon slot, only CBS and FOX carry them, and there is not a single prime time kickoff on the sheet. The 2025 season is why: Las Vegas finished 3-14, fired Pete Carroll after one year and earned the first overall pick.
New head coach Klint Kubiak takes over with Kirk Cousins at quarterback and rookie Fernando Mendoza waiting behind him. Below you will find every date, kickoff time and TV channel, 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 |

| 4 | Sun, Oct 4 | vs Kansas City Chiefs | 4:25 PM | CBS |
| 5 | Sun, Oct 11 | at New England Patriots | 1:00 PM | CBS |

| 13 | BYE WEEK | |||
| 14 | Sun, Dec 13 | vs 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 |
One date is still open. Week 18 at the Kansas City Chiefs falls on Saturday, January 9 or Sunday, January 10, 2027, and the league fixes it only after Week 17 finishes. Sunday afternoon kickoffs from Week 5 on can also move under flexible scheduling, so treat the 4:05 PM and 4:25 PM slots as provisional until game week.
The Las Vegas Raiders schedule 2026 is harder than the quiet TV listing suggests. Nine of the 17 opponents reached the 2025 playoffs, including five in the first nine weeks and AFC top seed Denver twice. Week 10 brings the reigning champions to Allegiant Stadium: Seattle beat New England 29-13 in Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026. 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 Schedule 2026
All three 2026 NFL preseason games fall on a Thursday at the same 5:00 PM Pacific kickoff, and two of the three are at Allegiant Stadium.
| Game | Date | Opponent | Time (ET) | TV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thu, Aug 13 | vs Arizona Cardinals | 8:00 PM | FOX5 Vegas |
| 2 | Thu, Aug 20 | at Houston Texans | 8:00 PM | ESPN / FOX5 Vegas |
| 3 | Thu, Aug 27 | vs San Francisco 49ers | 8:00 PM | FOX5 Vegas |
KVVU FOX5 Las Vegas carries all three locally and KOMP 92.3 FM calls every game on radio. The Week 2 trip to Reliant Stadium in Houston is the only preseason game with a national window, on ESPN. This is also the first live look at how Klint Kubiak splits reps between Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza, so August matters more than usual in Las Vegas this year.
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 subscription is required for any game. Nothing sits behind Prime Video, Netflix, Peacock or NFL Network. All 16 scheduled games air on free over-the-air television in the Las Vegas market, which is rare and worth knowing before you pay for anything.
- 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 this year, in Weeks 1, 8, 10, 12 and 16, so read the table rather than assuming.
- Flex scheduling can still change this. Sunday night is eligible from Week 5, Monday night from Week 12 and Thursday night from Week 13. A winning start would put the October home games against Kansas City and Buffalo in play for a national move.
KOMP 92.3 FM and Raider Nation Radio 920 AM carry every game, with a Spanish broadcast also available through the club. Out of market viewers can get the Sunday afternoon CBS and FOX games through NFL Sunday Ticket on 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 |
| 8:00 PM (preseason) | 7:00 PM | 6:00 PM | 5:00 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 is in Week 17 on January 3, after daylight saving ends on November 1, 2026, so Phoenix reads 2:05 PM that day exactly as the table shows.

Raiders 2026 Wall Calendar Printable (PDF)
Prefer month grids? This version runs August 2026 through January 2027. Allegiant Stadium dates are filled in black, road dates are outlined in Raiders silver, preseason squares are tagged PRE, and each one 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 on the 13th, 20th and 27th. 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.
The reason is recent form. Las Vegas has gone 7-27 across the last two seasons and finished 2025 at 3-14, scoring the fewest points and gaining the fewest yards in the league. Networks pick the national windows months ahead, and a team coming off the worst record does not get them.
Flex scheduling is the way back in. Any Sunday afternoon game from Week 5 onward can move to Sunday night, Monday night from Week 12 and Thursday night from Week 13. If Kirk Cousins and this defence start well, the October home games against Kansas City and Buffalo are the obvious candidates.
For fans, the trade is simple. There are no midweek late nights and no games that need a streaming account. Sixteen of the 17 dates are already fixed to a Sunday afternoon, which makes this one of the easiest schedules in the league to plan around.
Allegiant Stadium
Allegiant Stadium opened in 2020 in Paradise, Nevada, just west of the Strip, and seats 65,000. The translucent ETFE 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 and the stretch most likely to decide how the year is remembered.
The building hosted Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024 and is booked again for Super Bowl LXIII on February 11, 2029. It also runs a heavy neutral site calendar of college football, concerts and international soccer, so check the Allegiant Stadium event listing before booking travel around a game weekend.
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 it. The rest arrives at the right moment: the Raiders play four road games in five weeks from Week 8 to Week 12, with only the Seattle home date in the middle, then get the bye before three straight games at Allegiant Stadium.

Raiders 2026 Coaching Staff and Key Players
Almost everything at the top is new. The Raiders announced the full staff on March 1, 2026.
- Klint Kubiak is the head coach, hired after Pete Carroll was let go on January 5, 2026 following a 3-14 first season. Kubiak came from Seattle, where he was offensive coordinator in 2025. General manager John Spytek stayed on through the change.
- Andrew Janocko runs the offence and Rob Leonard runs the defence. Joe DeCamillis takes special teams and Mike McCoy joins as assistant head coach, giving Kubiak two experienced voices in his first year as a head coach.
- Kirk Cousins signed in April with $20 million guaranteed for 2026 and opens as the starter in his 15th NFL season. He played for Kubiak in Minnesota from 2019 to 2021, which is the whole logic of the signing. Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick out of Indiana, has taken first team reps in camp, but the club has said it will not rush him.
- The supporting cast is the reason for optimism. Maxx Crosby leads the pass rush, Brock Bowers is one of the most productive tight ends in the league, and Ashton Jeanty enters year two at running back.
How to Get Las Vegas Raiders Tickets
Home tickets run through the official Raiders ticket page, which routes single game sales to Ticketmaster. Verified resale is available on StubHub, SeatGeek and Vivid Seats, and personal seat licence and season ticket enquiries go through the club directly.
Allegiant Stadium draws a large travelling support, so demand is driven as much by the visiting fan base as by the Raiders. Kansas City in Week 4, Buffalo in Week 6 and the Rams in Week 7 fall inside a four week span and typically carry the highest resale prices of the year.
Hotel rates on the Strip move with conventions rather than the football calendar, so price the room before you commit to the seat. If you want a cheaper way in, the two August home preseason games use the same building at a fraction of the cost.

When is the Raiders bye week in 2026?
Week 13, the weekend of December 6. Las Vegas plays 12 games before the break and five after it. It is the second latest bye in the league, shared with Baltimore, Indianapolis and the New York Jets. Only Arizona and Dallas wait until Week 14.
Do the Raiders have any prime time games in 2026?
No. Every regular season game is scheduled for a Sunday afternoon window at 1:00 PM, 4:05 PM or 4:25 PM ET. It is the first Raiders season without a scheduled prime time kickoff since 2010. Flex scheduling can still move a game into prime time from Week 5 onward if the Raiders are in contention.
Who is the Raiders quarterback in 2026?
Kirk Cousins starts the season. He signed with Las Vegas in April 2026 with $20 million guaranteed for the year, reuniting with head coach Klint Kubiak, who coached him in Minnesota from 2019 to 2021. Rookie Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick out of Indiana, is behind him and has taken first team reps in training camp.
Who is the Raiders head coach in 2026?
Klint Kubiak, in his first season. He replaced Pete Carroll, who was let go on January 5, 2026 after one year and a 3-14 finish. Kubiak was the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator in 2025. Andrew Janocko is the offensive coordinator and Rob Leonard the defensive coordinator.
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. Sixteen Sunday afternoons, two networks, three kickoff windows and a Week 13 bye, with a new coaching staff and a new quarterback trying to earn back the national dates the team lost.
