The Raiders originally started out in Oakland before becoming the Los Angeles Raiders, back to Oakland and now Las Vegas.
“The Raiders were born in Oakland, and played 13 seasons in L.A. Both cities will always be part of our DNA but, today, we begin a new chapter in our storied history. For today, January 22, 2020, we are now the Las Vegas Raiders,” team owner Mark Davis said, per NFL Media’s Jelani Scott. “And, today, Las Vegas officially becomes our nation’s capital.”
Las Vegas has its 2020 opponents, but the dates and times won’t be released until a later date.
