Raiders 17-Game Schedule: Two Monday Night Games; One Sunday Night; And Thanksgiving in Dallas

By Alan Snel of LVSportsBiz.com

The Raiders schedule is out.

And if the novel coronavirus pandemic is on the way out, too, then travel plans are being crafted and planned to reach Las Vegas for nine home games that owner Raiders owner Mark Davis hopes will be packed with 65,000 fans at Allegiant Stadium.

There was early news that the Raiders would host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football Sept. 13.  Last Sept. 21, the Raiders played their first game in the $2 billion domed — but empty — Allegiant Stadium, a win over the New Orleans Saints.

The Raiders have other prime time games. Three weeks later on Oct. 4 there’s another Monday Night Football game in LA against division rival, the Los Angeles Chargers.

On Week 10 on Nov. 14, there’s a Sunday Night Football showdown against the Chiefs in Las Vegas.

On November 25, there’s a Thanksgiving Day game against the Cowboys in Dallas.

The regular season ends with a home game against the Chargers Jan. 9.

Here’s the rundown on the games:

The Raiders’ preseason games start with a home game against the Seattle Seahawks in Las Vegas and then away games against the Rams in LA and the 49ers in Santa Clara County, California.
