The Las Vegas Raiders future opponents are determined by the NFL’s structured scheduling rotation, which ensures the team plays every franchise in the league at least once every four years. Between 2026 and 2028, the Raiders are slated for marquee home matchups at Allegiant Stadium against the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and Houston Texans. Their future road schedules feature historic trips to Lambeau Field to face the Packers and multiple visits to the NFC West and NFC North divisions.

The NFL Scheduling Formula 

To understand who the Raiders play next, it helps to know how the league picks opponents. Each year, the Raiders play:

• Six games against the AFC West (Home and Away vs. Chiefs, Chargers, and Broncos).
• Four games against another AFC division on a three-year rotation.
• Four games against an NFC division on a four-year rotation.
• Three games based on the previous season’s standings (The TBD slots).
