Las Vegas Raiders 2026 Schedule: Zero Primetime Games, Toughest Road Stretch in Years

On Thursday, the Las Vegas Raiders unveiled their 2026 schedule . All 32 NFL teams announced their 17-game slates simultaneously, a media spectacle. The Raiders will travel 21,099 miles in 2026, the 12th-most in the league.

They also own the seventh-toughest strength of schedule at . 529, based on opponents’ 2025 records. For the first time since 2010, the Raiders will not appear in a single primetime game, which isn’t surprising given their record over the past several years.

Barring a late-season flex, Fernando Mendoza and the Silver and Black will get no national spotlight on Monday, Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday night. Las Vegas is also the only NFL team that has not played an international game this decade, a streak now stretching to seven seasons. The last time the Raiders played internationally was in 2019 in London.

Let’s break down the slate.
