The Raiders will go through the gauntlet with their 2026 home schedule, with five of their opponents having made the playoffs in 2025. Calculating the records of the eight teams they'll face in Allegiant Stadium, they had a cumulative 58.09 percent win percentage last season.
Arguably their most intriguing home opponent in 2026 will be the Seattle Seahawks, for several reasons. First and foremost, they're the reigning Super Bowl champions after defeating the New England Patriots 29-13 last Sunday. Additionally, Raiders new Head Coach Klint Kubiak will go head-to-head against his former team, having won the Super Bowl as their offensive coordinator.
As Kubiak is tasked with upgrading the Silver and Black's offense, Mike Macdonald's defense will be a great test for the first-time head coach. The Seahawks defense allowed the fewest points (292) to opposing offenses, along with ranking in the top ten in takeaways (25) and fewest yards allowed (4,860).
"Mike \[Macdonald\] has been really supportive," said Klint Kubiak at his **[introductory press conference](/video/klint-kubiak-introductory-press-conference-nfl-2026)** last Tuesday. "I can't thank him enough for really everything that he just showed me of how to be a head coach. Mike made my life really hard ... and I appreciate that. He challenged us every week as a coaching staff. I thought we had a good game, and on Monday I hated having to look at him in the eye because I knew all the hard questions were coming. But I really appreciated that about him, because he brought the best out of us."
Another two difficult home opponents will be the Los Angeles Rams and the Denver Broncos, who each lost their respective conference championship games by one possession.
