Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders 2026 schedule is officially here, and we’re breaking down EVERYTHING you need to know. 🏴‍☠️ On this episode of the Raiders Squad Show, Lincoln Kennedy, Q Myers, and Shantelle Chand react to the full Raiders 2026 schedule release, including Week 1 vs the Miami Dolphins, the late Week 13 bye week, and the shocking reality that the Raiders were given ZERO primetime games this season. We dive into the toughest matchups on the schedule, the most important stretches of the season, back-to-back road games, potential trap games, and which opponents could define the Raiders’ playoff hopes. Does the Week 13 bye actually help Fernando Mendoza later in the season? Which game are we most excited for? And where is the “easiest” stretch of the schedule? Plus, we break down the AFC West heading into 2026. Can the Raiders compete with the Chiefs, Broncos, and Chargers this year? Will Kansas City still dominate the division? Which AFC West team could take a step back? And is there a real path for the Raiders to finish as high as THIRD in the division this season? Drop your Raiders record predictions in the comments and let us know which game you’re circling first on the 2026 schedule.
