Las Vegas Raiders: 2026 Schedule & Season Tracker

The complete 2026 slate with rest edges and schedule context, the 2025 ledger, and the franchise record since 1999 — every number computed from the bundled nflverse game log.

By C. B. Zakarian · Updated July 29, 2026

The Las Vegas Raiders enter 2026 off a 3–14 season. Their 2026 opponents went a combined 153–136 in 2025 (a .529 strength of schedule, 7 of 32 — the naive prior-year method, whose real forecast error we measured here). The calendar hands them a net rest differential of -13 days (30 of 32), with week 9 (-7), week 11 (-7), week 12 (-7), week 14 (+7); the bye falls in week 13, they play 0 Thursday games, and 2 of their final four games are divisional. Rest-edge context lives in the schedule-quirks explainer.

The 2025 ledger

Final record 3–14, 241 points scored against 432 allowed (-191). Home 2–7, road 1–7. One-score games (decided by 8 or fewer): 2–5 — the split most likely to regress either way, per the Pythagorean explainer.

Franchise baseline, 1999–2025

Across the 27 seasons in our game log the franchise is 172–265 (.394). Best season in the window: 2000 (12–4); leanest: 2006 (2–14). Franchise moves are joined under the current code (LV), so older seasons include predecessor cities where applicable.
