Raiders face lack of primetime games in 2026 NFL season
Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders will not have any primetime games on their 2026 NFL schedule following a disappointing 3-14 season. This marks a continuation of a troubling trend, as the team ranks 25th in primetime appearances since 2022 and is among five teams with no primetime matchups this year. Despite their history of multiple primetime games, including an average of three over the last four seasons, the Raiders' poor performance has impacted their visibility. If rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza demonstrates potential, the team may see more primetime opportunities in 2027.
