How to watch, stream and listen to the Las Vegas Raiders’ first game of the 2025 season against the New England Patriots
The Las Vegas Raiders kick their season off against the New England Patriots in Week 1 of the 2025 season.
The 2025 season is finally here, well, a few days away, and the Las Vegas Raiders are ready to show everyone they’re a different team than the one that only won four games in 2024. They start the season with the New England Patriots, a team that should be a bit easier to start the year with a win. But nothing is guaranteed in this league.
Regardless, it will be fun to see this new iteration of the Raiders, but can you watch the game?

The Raiders, as we all know, are kicking off their 2025 season against a team that most fans in this fanbase hate.

Yes, it’s an earlier game, especially for those on the West Coast, as the Raiders kick off at 10:00 a.m. PT. They only have a handful of games at 10 a.m. this season, though. Most of them are around 1 p.m. PT.
