By Alan Snel, LVSportsBiz.com Publisher-Writer

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Take a look at the Raiders schedule for 2026 and one thing comes through: no prime time games for the Silver & Black.

The Raiders season begins Sept. 13 against the Dolphins at Allegiant Stadium and ends at the Chiefs in Kansas City in the second week of January.

In between, no Sunday/Monday/Thursday/international/holiday prime time TV games.

The Raiders had the worst record in the National Football League in 2025 and hired a new coach for 2026, Klint Kubiak. Check the Raiders release reveal here.

Here’s the schedule that includes three preseason games at Allegiant Stadium and eight regular season home games at Allegiant Stadium.

The Raiders were not the sole team without a primetime game. The Dolphins, Cardinals, Jets and Titans also had no primetime games.
