Las Vegas Raiders Games

The Las Vegas Raiders live stream and TV schedule for 2026 is unusually simple: the Raiders currently have no initially scheduled Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football or Thursday Night Football games.

Eleven of their 16 games with confirmed networks are on CBS, while FOX carries the other five.

Every confirmed Raiders game is currently an afternoon kickoff, with Week 18 at Kansas City the only matchup still waiting for its date, time and network.

For complete league-wide viewing options, see our NFL Live Streaming Guide.

No Primetime Raiders Games Are Initially Scheduled in 2026

Las Vegas stands out from many NFL teams because its initial schedule contains zero confirmed primetime games.

There is currently no Raiders matchup assigned to:

  • NBC Sunday Night Football
  • ESPN/ABC Monday Night Football
  • Prime Video Thursday Night Football

Instead, all 16 games with confirmed broadcasters fall into Sunday afternoon windows on CBS or FOX.

That could still change. NFL flexible scheduling can move eligible later-season games into national windows, and Week 18 remains completely open.

For now, however, Raiders fans can build almost their entire US viewing setup around CBS, FOX and NFL Sunday Ticket for out-of-market coverage.

CBS Carries 11 Raiders Games

CBS is easily the most important Raiders network in 2026.

The 11 currently assigned CBS games are:

WeekMatchupKickoff
2Raiders at Chargers4:05 p.m. ET
3Raiders at Saints4:25 p.m. ET
4Chiefs at Raiders4:25 p.m. ET
5Raiders at Patriots1:00 p.m. ET
6Bills at Raiders4:25 p.m. ET
9Raiders at 49ers4:05 p.m. ET
10Seahawks at Raiders4:05 p.m. ET
11Raiders at Broncos4:25 p.m. ET
14Chargers at Raiders4:05 p.m. ET
15Broncos at Raiders4:25 p.m. ET
17Raiders at Cardinals4:05 p.m. ET

The Raiders’ official schedule also lists Paramount+ alongside CBS for these games.

That means Paramount+ can be particularly useful for viewers whose local CBS station is carrying the Raiders game.

It does not automatically provide an out-of-market Raiders broadcast if your local CBS affiliate selects another matchup.

Dolphins-Raiders Opens the Season on FOX

Las Vegas begins the regular season at Allegiant Stadium against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, September 13.

Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET / 1:25 p.m. PT on FOX.

That is notable because FOX appears only five times on the entire Raiders schedule.

After Week 1, Las Vegas immediately enters a five-game CBS run:

  • Week 2: at Chargers
  • Week 3: at Saints
  • Week 4: vs. Chiefs
  • Week 5: at Patriots
  • Week 6: vs. Bills

For Raiders fans choosing a streaming package primarily around this team, CBS becomes much more important after opening day.

Chiefs at Raiders Gets the 4:25 p.m. CBS Window

The first Kansas City-Las Vegas matchup takes place at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, October 4 at 4:25 p.m. ET / 1:25 p.m. PT.

CBS carries the AFC West game.

Despite the rivalry, the initial schedule does not place Chiefs-Raiders on Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football or Thursday Night Football.

The second meeting is even less settled.

Las Vegas travels to Kansas City in Week 18, but the NFL has not yet assigned a date, kickoff time or network.

So the two Chiefs games currently look like:

  • Week 4 at Las Vegas: CBS
  • Week 18 at Kansas City: TBD

Bills at Raiders is Another CBS Late-Afternoon Game

Buffalo visits Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, October 18 at 4:25 p.m. ET / 1:25 p.m. PT.

CBS carries the matchup.

This is the fifth consecutive Raiders game assigned to CBS.

The Bills matchup is followed by a network switch when the Rams visit Las Vegas one week later.

Rams-Raiders Moves Back to FOX

The Los Angeles Rams visit the Raiders on October 25 at 4:25 p.m. ET / 1:25 p.m. PT.

FOX carries Week 7.

It begins Las Vegas’ only stretch of consecutive FOX games:

  • Week 7: Rams at Raiders — FOX
  • Week 8: Raiders at Jets — FOX

The Jets game kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT, which is one of the Raiders’ few early Sunday starts because it is played on the East Coast.

Raiders-49ers is on CBS, Not Primetime

The Raiders visit the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, November 8 at 4:05 p.m. ET / 1:05 p.m. PT.

CBS carries the game.

Given the geographic history between the franchises, this is one of the more recognizable games on Las Vegas’ schedule, but it remains a Sunday afternoon CBS broadcast rather than a national night game.

The Raiders then host Seattle the following Sunday at the same 1:05 p.m. PT kickoff time, also on CBS.

Raiders-Broncos Games Are Both on CBS

Both confirmed Denver-Las Vegas matchups use the same broadcaster.

  • Week 11: Raiders at Broncos — Nov. 22, 4:25 p.m. ET — CBS
  • Week 15: Broncos at Raiders — Dec. 20, 4:25 p.m. ET — CBS

The Chargers series works similarly.

  • Week 2: Raiders at Chargers — CBS
  • Week 14: Chargers at Raiders — CBS

That means four of Las Vegas’ six AFC West games already have CBS assignments.

The only exceptions are the two Kansas City games: the first is also on CBS, while Week 18 remains TBD.

FOX Carries Only Five Raiders Games

FOX has five confirmed Las Vegas broadcasts:

  • Dolphins at Raiders — Week 1
  • Rams at Raiders — Week 7
  • Raiders at Jets — Week 8
  • Raiders at Browns — Week 12
  • Titans at Raiders — Week 16

The Week 12 Cleveland game kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT, followed by Las Vegas’ Week 13 bye.

The Raiders then return with three home games over the next four weeks: the Chargers, Broncos and Titans all visit Allegiant Stadium before Las Vegas goes to Arizona in Week 17.

Raiders Have a Week 13 Bye

Las Vegas’ bye arrives relatively late in Week 13.

The Raiders play 12 straight games before the break, including five road games between Weeks 5 and 12.

After the bye, the broadcast schedule becomes:

  • Week 14 vs. Chargers: CBS
  • Week 15 vs. Broncos: CBS
  • Week 16 vs. Titans: FOX
  • Week 17 at Cardinals: CBS
  • Week 18 at Chiefs: TBD

That makes CBS particularly dominant during the final month as well.

How to Stream Raiders Games Outside Las Vegas

The lack of scheduled primetime games means regional broadcast availability matters more for Raiders fans in 2026.

A viewer living outside Nevada might have Raiders-Bills listed on CBS, for example, but their local CBS affiliate could carry another NFL matchup.

The Raiders’ official viewing guide identifies NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube and YouTube TV as the option for out-of-market Sunday afternoon games.

That is particularly relevant this season because every currently confirmed Raiders game is a Sunday afternoon game.

For CBS games, Paramount+ can stream the live local CBS broadcast available in the subscriber’s market. FOX provides authenticated streaming for the local FOX game.

Week 18 Raiders at Chiefs Could Change the Broadcast Picture

The biggest unresolved Raiders TV question is the regular-season finale.

Las Vegas visits the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18, but the game currently has:

  • Date: TBD
  • Kickoff: TBD
  • Network: TBD

The NFL waits until after Week 17 to assign its final weekend.

Three Week 18 games will be played Saturday—one on Netflix and two on ESPN/ABC—while the remainder will be assigned to Sunday afternoon and Sunday Night Football windows.

That means Raiders-Chiefs could ultimately become the one Las Vegas game placed into a substantially different national broadcast window.

Until the NFL announces it, the network should remain listed as TBD.

Watching Raiders Games in the UK

UK Raiders fans can use NFL Game Pass on DAZN for every regular-season NFL game, along with the playoffs and Super Bowl.

That is especially useful with Las Vegas because so many Raiders games are regional CBS broadcasts in the United States.

Sky Sports NFL also carries extensive Sunday coverage, but the weekly game selection does not guarantee that Las Vegas will be shown every week.

The Raiders also expanded their NFL Global Markets Program rights to include the United Kingdom in 2026, alongside Canada and the United Arab Emirates.

Watching Raiders Games in Canada

Canadian Raiders fans can use NFL Game Pass on DAZN, which provides access to all NFL preseason, regular-season and postseason games.

CTV carries weekly Sunday afternoon coverage, while TSN handles Canada’s major primetime windows.

Because Las Vegas currently has no scheduled primetime game, CTV’s Sunday selections are more relevant to the Raiders than they would be for a team with numerous NBC, ESPN or Prime Video appearances.

NFL Game Pass remains the more comprehensive option for someone who wants every Raiders game rather than whichever matchup receives Canadian television selection.

FAQs

The Raiders currently have 11 regular-season games on CBS, including both Chargers games, both Broncos games, home games against Kansas City and Buffalo, and road games against New Orleans, New England, San Francisco and Arizona.

Not on the initial schedule. Las Vegas currently has no games assigned to Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football or Thursday Night Football. All 16 games with confirmed networks are Sunday afternoon broadcasts on CBS or FOX.

What channel is Chiefs vs. Raiders on October 4?

Kansas City visits Las Vegas on Sunday, October 4 at 4:25 p.m. ET / 1:25 p.m. PT, and the game is scheduled for CBS.

What channel is Raiders vs. 49ers in 2026?

Las Vegas visits San Francisco on Sunday, November 8 at 4:05 p.m. ET / 1:05 p.m. PT. The game is scheduled for CBS, with Paramount+ listed by the Raiders for the applicable local CBS stream.

What channel is Raiders vs. Chiefs in Week 18?

No network has been announced. The Raiders’ Week 18 game at Kansas City currently has its date, kickoff time and TV network listed as TBD. Final Week 18 assignments will be made after Week 17.

Raiders TV Outlook for 2026

Las Vegas has one of the most traditional television schedules in the NFL this season.

There are 11 CBS games and five FOX games, with no initially scheduled ESPN, NBC or Prime Video primetime appearances.

CBS is therefore the clear priority for local Raiders viewing, while NFL Sunday Ticket becomes especially useful for fans outside the Las Vegas market because virtually the entire schedule is subject to regional Sunday-afternoon distribution.

The one matchup capable of significantly changing that pattern is Week 18 at Kansas City, which remains completely unassigned.
