The next step in preparation for the 2025 season will come this week, when the NFL will reveal the exact schedules for the Las Vegas Raiders and the other 31 teams.
We've know who the Raiders' opponents are going to be since January, when the 2024 season ended. However, we will get the exact dates and times for those contests this week.
Ahead of Wednesday, when the schedules will be revealed, the NFL will slowly be releasing specific games. And, along with that, there will be leaks from different sources, although it's important to note that those are not always right, so take everything you see that's not from the league with a grain of salt.
