American Football Conference · AFC West
The Las Vegas Raiders were founded in 1960 in Oakland, California, and now play their home games at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, with headquarters in Henderson. Mark Davis owns the franchise, with minority owners including Tom Brady and Richard Seymour. John Spytek serves as general manager, while Klint Kubiak leads the team as head coach, joined by offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko and defensive coordinator Rob Leonard. The Raiders made the playoffs in 2016 with a 12–4 record and again in 2021 at 10–7, but the years since have been difficult. The team finished 4–13 in 2024 and 3–14 in 2025 before opening 2026 at 3–4. Known by many names over the decades, from "Silver and Black" to "Raider Nation" to "Sin City," the franchise remains one of football's most storied organizations.
