The NFL officially dropped the 2026 regular-season schedule on Thursday, and Las Vegas Raiders fans have plenty to digest. While the schedule features a mix of intriguing matchups and challenging road trips, the absence of any primetime games has already sparked debate. Is this a fair shake for the Silver and Black, or is the league giving them the cold shoulder?

Let’s break down the key dates. The Raiders open with a Week 2 road battle against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 20 at 1:05 p.m. on CBS—a divisional clash that could set the tone early. They then hit the road again in Week 3, traveling to New Orleans to face the Saints on Sept. 27 at 1:25 p.m., also on CBS. A tough cross-country trip to New England follows in Week 5 on Oct. 11, with a 10 a.m. kickoff that will test the team’s early-morning resilience.

The schedule doesn’t let up in the second half. Week 9 brings a trip to the San Francisco 49ers on Nov. 8 at 1:05 p.m., followed by a critical divisional showdown at the Denver Broncos in Week 11 on Nov. 22 at 1:25 p.m. After a home game against the Chargers in Week 14 on Dec. 13 at 1:05 p.m., the Raiders close out the regular season on the road against the Arizona Cardinals on Jan. 3, 2027, at 1:05 p.m.

Notably, every game is slated for a Sunday afternoon slot on CBS, with zero primetime appearances. For a team looking to build momentum and attract national attention, that’s a glaring omission. Some fans might see it as a slight, while others could argue it’s a chance to fly under the radar and focus on fundamentals. Whether you love the consistency or hate the lack of prime-time buzz, this schedule will test the Raiders’ depth and road stamina. What’s your take—fair or foul?
