Notes

  • The Raiders made two separate trades with the Miami Dolphins. First, the Raiders traded their fourth-round selection to the Dolphins in exchange for linebacker Raekwon McMillan and the Dolphins' fifth-round selection. Then, the Dolphins traded the Raiders' fourth-round selection back to the Raiders in exchange for wide receiver Lynn Bowden and the Raiders' sixth-round selection.[1]
  • The Raiders traded their fifth-round selection to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for wide receiver Zay Jones.[2]
  • The Raiders forfeited their sixth-round selection as the punishment for repeated COVID-19 protocol violations during the 2020 season.[3]
  • The Raiders traded their seventh-round selection and offensive tackle David Sharpe to the Washington Football Team in exchange for Washington's sixth-round selection.[4] Due to the forfeiture of the Raiders' original sixth-round selection, the Dolphins will likely be the recipient of this selection.
  • Exact numbers of the selections from rounds 4–7 will be determined when compensatory selections are awarded at the NFL's annual spring owners' meetings.

The Raiders' preseason opponents and schedule will be announced in the spring.

Regular season

2021 opponents

Listed below are the Raiders' opponents for 2021. The length of the season is contingent on whether the league expands the regular season from 16 to 17 games. If this happens, a 17th game would match the Raiders against a interconference opponent from one of the three divisions from the NFC that the Raiders are not scheduled to play in 2021, which will be based on division placement from 2020.[5]

Exact dates and times will be announced in the spring.
