The Las Vegas Raiders held one of the worst records on the road throughout the entire NFL in 2025 with Las Vegas going 1-7 on the road. And in 2026, they will have an additional road game.
The Raiders will need to play at a much higher level away from home in 2026. Rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza and the rest of the Raiders’ draft class should add an instant boost to the team as a whole this season, but Las Vegas will find themselves facing some of the top teams on the road in 2026 nonetheless.

The Raiders will be on the road nine total times this year. Las Vegas’ young core will need to handle playing in some of the toughest environments in the NFL this season, and the team as a whole will be traveling on a consistent basis in 2026.
Las Vegas will travel a total of 21,099 miles through the air this season, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Raiders are ranked as the 12th highest team in air miles, but Las Vegas will not partake in an international game for the seventh consecutive season despite all the traveling.
The NFL will officially release the Raiders’ schedule on May 14, but Las Vegas will be on the road more than the average team in 2026.
