About Las Vegas Raiders
Professional American football team
The Las Vegas Raiders are a professional American football team based in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. They compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the AFC West division and play home games at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
The team was founded on 30 January 1960 in Oakland, California, as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL), and joined the NFL with the AFL–NFL merger in 1970.
The Raiders played in Los Angeles from the 1982 season through the 1994 season, returned to Oakland in 1995 and relocated to the Las Vegas area on 22 January 2020.
Al Davis, who arrived as head coach and general manager in 1963, owned the team from 1972 until his death in 2011; control then passed to his son Mark Davis. The team has worn silver and black since 1963.
Company: National Football League.
