Las Vegas Raiders Score: Live Game, Final Results and 2026 Season Tracker
The Raiders haven’t had a primetime slot on the 2026 NFL schedule – first time that’s happened since 2010. For a franchise with three Super Bowls and one of the most recognizable logos in American sports, that’s a quiet kind of indictment. It also means every score this season gets tracked a little closer by a fan base with something to prove.
Live Score – What’s Happening Right Now
When a game is in progress, the fastest sources are the NFL app (push alerts update within seconds of a score), ESPN’s scoreboard tab, and the Raiders’ own app which carries the KOMP 92.3 FM broadcast. None of them require a cable subscription to access scores. For the full broadcast you’ll need NFL+ ($7/month), or the relevant network – CBS and Fox carry most early windows, ESPN handles Monday Night, Amazon Prime has Thursday Night Football.
The 2026 regular season opens September 13 at Allegiant Stadium against the Miami Dolphins. Week 2 takes the Raiders to Los Angeles to face the Chargers on September 20 – an AFC West division game that already matters more than it looks this early, given the Raiders went 3-14 in 2025 and finished last in the division. New head coach Klint Kubiak inherits that record and a rookie quarterback named Fernando Mendoza who most analysts weren’t seriously projecting as a Week 1 starter six months ago.
Last Game: Final Score and How It Played Out
The most recent completed regular season game on record was Las Vegas 14, Kansas City 12 – a result that turned up in Sofascore’s database as the Raiders’ previous match. That’s a notable line. Beating the Chiefs by any margin is an event for Raider Nation. Beating them 14-12 in what sounds like a defensive grind is the kind of game that either confirms a team is turning a corner or inflates optimism before a reality check. Based on the full 2025 season record of 3-14, it was the latter.
Before that, the last full box score on file from Pro Football Reference shows Las Vegas 20, New England 13 on September 7, 2025 – the Week 1 opener. Geno Smith started at quarterback, threw for 362 yards per game (first in the league that week per StatMuse’s team leaders), and the Raiders rushed for only 56 yards per game on the season (24th in the NFL). That gap between the passing numbers and the running game is the clearest statistical story of 2025.
Quarter-by-Quarter Breakdown
For individual box score data by quarter – who scored, when, and on what play – Pro Football Reference remains the cleanest archive. Every game from 1960 onward has a dedicated box score page with team stats, player stat lines, drive summaries, and play-by-play. StatMuse covers the same ground with a more conversational interface: you can type “Raiders score vs Chiefs last season” and get a direct result rather than navigating a database. Both are free. Both update within hours of a final whistle.
2026 Season Record – All Results as They Happen
The Raiders enter 2026 at 0-0 with the schedule officially released in May. Klint Kubiak is the head coach. Fernando Mendoza is the presumptive starter at quarterback, though Kirk Cousins is also on the roster – and Bleacher Report has already published a piece projecting that Mendoza might not start until Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills, at which point Cousins gets benched and a new era formally begins. That timeline will either look prescient or ridiculous by October.
Brock Bowers is the offensive weapon everyone on the outside is watching. ESPN’s projection has Mendoza throwing 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his first season. Tight end market projections suggest Bowers will need a contract extension soon – the comparison being made is to the kind of deal that reset the market for his position. Taron Johnson came over as the starting nickel corner and then immediately skipped offseason workouts over a contract dispute. The roster construction is interesting. Whether it translates to wins is a different question.
Where the Raiders Stand in the AFC West
The division record is what hurts. Against the Chargers over the last decade, the Raiders are 4-16 based on StatMuse’s head-to-head log – with that 63-21 blowout loss in December 2023 sitting in the middle of the record like an embarrassing photo. Against Baltimore they’ve done better in recent years: a 26-23 win in September 2024, a 33-27 win in the Monday Night game in 2021. Against Kansas City, the story writes itself – the Chiefs have dominated the AFC West for years and the Raiders are trying to be competitive in a division where the Broncos under Sean Payton are also rebuilding credibly.
The 2026 schedule gives Las Vegas no primetime games. Zero. That’s not a coincidence – it reflects where the league’s schedulers think this team sits. A team with an interesting rookie quarterback and one elite tight end, coming off 3-14, doesn’t get Sunday Night Football slots. They earn them back, or they don’t.
How to Track the Score Live Without Missing a Play
The NFL app is the fastest for scores – faster than broadcast, faster than most sports sites because it pulls directly from the official data feed. Enable notifications before the season starts, not game day, or you’ll spend the first quarter fiddling with settings. On iOS, go to Settings, then the NFL app, then Notifications, and turn on Score Alerts and Game Updates separately – they’re two different toggles.
For radio, KOMP 92.3 FM carries every Raiders game in Las Vegas. RAIDER NATION RADIO 920 AM is the broader network feed. Both stream free through the Raiders app, which matters during road games when you’re in a different market and the local affiliate isn’t carrying the game. The NFL+ subscription ($7/month, $40/year) adds live audio for every game and replays. It doesn’t give you full live video for local or national games – that requires the relevant network app, cable login, or a streaming service like YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream.
Fantasy Football and the Box Score Behind the Box Score
The Raiders’ most fantasy-relevant player by a wide margin is Brock Bowers. As a rookie in 2024 he caught 112 passes for 1,194 yards – the most receiving yards ever by a tight end in their first NFL season. That number didn’t come with touchdowns (five), which cost him in standard scoring formats, but in PPR leagues he was a top-five tight end most weeks. His targets in 2026 will depend heavily on whether Mendoza can actually get the ball to him consistently under pressure, which is the one thing a rookie quarterback historically struggles with.
Jakobi Meyers was the leading receiver in 2025 before the roster was restructured this offseason. Chase Roberts and other receivers are competing for depth positions. The wide receiver group is unsettled, which actually increases Bowers’ target share projection going into the season.
On the betting side, the Raiders went 6-12 against the spread in 2024 per available ATS records – a below-average mark that reflects a team whose games were often closer than their record suggested. The Chargers blowout skewed perception. Most of the losses were within a possession. Whether that changes under Kubiak depends on whether his offense – known for first-down efficiency, according to Bleacher Report’s coverage of his system – actually translates to fewer three-and-outs and more clock control.
Raiders Score History: The Games That Actually Mattered
The franchise has been called the Oakland Raiders, the Los Angeles Raiders, and the Las Vegas Raiders at various points. Three Super Bowl wins: Super Bowl XI (32-14 over Minnesota), Super Bowl XV (27-10 over Philadelphia), Super Bowl XVIII (38-9 over Washington – the largest margin of victory in Super Bowl history at that point). That 38-9 line is the franchise’s defining score. Marcus Allen ran for 191 yards and a touchdown that went 74 yards, cutting back against the grain of the entire Washington defense.
The Tuck Rule Game against the Patriots in January 2002 ended 16-13 in overtime after Charles Woodson stripped the ball from Tom Brady with two minutes left in the fourth quarter, what should have been a fumble was ruled an incomplete pass, and New England kicked a field goal to tie it. The Raiders lost. The rule that cost them was changed in 2013. Brady’s career probably changed in that moment too, though that’s hard to quantify.
The Sea of Hands game in December 1974 – Miami 26, Oakland 28, a playoff win on a Clarence Davis catch in traffic on the final play – doesn’t show up in most conversations about the franchise anymore. It should. Ken Stabler threw that pass left-handed, off balance, into a crowd of defenders, and somehow Davis came out with the ball.
Highest and Lowest Scoring Games in Franchise History
That 63-21 result against the Chargers in December 2023 stands as one of the worst beatings in recent franchise memory – not the all-time low in terms of points allowed, but notable for happening at home and ending any realistic playoff conversation that season. On the other end, the Raiders have scored 59 points in a game twice in franchise history, both times in the AFL era before the merger. Modern high-water marks are clustered in the 40s.
The strangest score in recent history is arguably the 33-27 Monday Night overtime result against Baltimore in September 2021 – a game that was suspended the week prior due to a COVID outbreak on the Ravens roster, played in front of a crowd that had driven home and then been told to come back, and featured Henry Ruggs III making plays in his final weeks before the November car accident that ended his career and changed several lives. The score exists. The context around it is harder to process cleanly.
