How to Watch the Las Vegas Raiders
Will the rebuilding continue, or are the Raiders primed to take a leap?
The Las Vegas Raiders have won seven games combined in their previous two seasons, so watching the team hasn’t been very enjoyable during that span.
But there’s at least one major reason to watch the team this year, and that’s No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza, the star quarterback from Indiana University. After impressing everyone in the franchise during preseason workouts, he’s the light at the end of the tunnel for the beleaguered Raiders.
For Raiders fans who want to follow all the action, this guide details which channels the team will play on, which TV or streaming services you may need, and how to watch games for free.
What channel shows Las Vegas Raiders games?
Raiders fans in Las Vegas and the surrounding areas are in luck. Every game in 2026 will air on a local FOX or CBS station. That means no national TV games, and no streaming exclusives on Amazon Prime Video or Netflix.
For out-of-market fans, NFL Sunday Ticket is the service you’ll need to watch the Raiders live. You can check out the website 506 Sports ahead of game day to see which regions will air Raiders games. That’ll help you determine if NFL Sunday Ticket is necessary for your location.
| Channel | Starting price | Coverage | Available on |
|---|---|---|---|
| CBS | Varies | Regional Sunday afternoon games | Over-the-air antenna, select TV providers, Paramount+ |
| FOX | Varies | Regional Sunday afternoon games | Over-the-air antenna, select TV providers, FOX One |
| NFL Sunday Ticket | $276.00–$522.00/yr. | Out-of-market Sunday afternoon games | YouTube TV, YouTube Primetime Channels |
Best TV plans for watching the Las Vegas Raiders
Because the Raiders won’t have any games on national TV or even in primetime this season, the best and least expensive way for local fans to watch games is with a digital antenna. This one-time purchase will give you access to your local FOX, CBS, NBC, and ABC stations. You’ll be able to watch every Raiders game in 2026, and many other NFL teams throughout the season.
If you don’t live near a local affiliate or find yourself in an area with a disrupted signal, streaming is the way to go. Paramount+ is a strong standalone streaming service for catching any in-market Raiders game airing on CBS.
But if you want comprehensive league-wide coverage, we think YouTube TV and Amazon Prime Video are the most beneficial options for die-hard fans. Pairing those two platforms will get you most in-market and nationally televised NFL games. We’ve detailed our top recommendations below.
Best Overall
YouTube TV offers local FOX and CBS affiliates, plus most national channels where other NFL games will air in 2026. It’s also the sole distributor of NFL Sunday Ticket, the league’s out-of-market TV service.
Exclusive Games
While the Raiders don’t currently have a game scheduled to stream on Prime Video, the service is the league’s home for Thursday Night Football matchups.
Out-of-Market Coverage
If you live outside the regions that air Raiders games on Sundays, NFL Sunday Ticket allows you to watch those matchups live and on demand.
Watch the Raiders with a free trial
If you love the Raiders but don’t have a TV service yet — or are looking to switch — we’ve mapped out a few of our favorites below that offer free trials. After all, testing a service before committing your hard-earned cash is the smartest way to lock in your game-day setup.
