New Orleans hosts Las Vegas at Caesars Superdome on Sunday for its first home game of 2026. The Raiders are 2-0, while the Saints enter after their first win, 24-17 over Baltimore; Las Vegas holds an 8-7-1 edge in the teams’ 16 regular-season meetings.

The teams first met on Nov. 7, 1971, at Tulane Stadium, where New Orleans rallied from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to tie 21-21. Las Vegas won their latest meeting, 25-10, on Dec. 29, 2024. The Saints briefly led on a Spencer Rattler-to-Foster Moreau touchdown, but the Raiders went ahead before halftime and held New Orleans scoreless after the break.

Kickoff is at 3:25 p.m. CT, with the game airing on CBS. Chris Lewis will handle play-by-play, Luke Kuechly will be the color analyst and Amanda Balionis will report from the sideline.
