The Raiders franchise was established on January 30, 1960, in Oakland, California. Initially a charter member of the American Football League (AFL), the team transitioned to the National Football League (NFL) during the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
After spending over two decades in Oakland, the Raiders relocated to Los Angeles in 1982, maintaining their presence there until 1994. Ahead of the 1995 season, the Raiders made their way back to Oakland. They continued to call Oakland home until 2020.
In 2017, the NFL sanctioned the Raiders’ application to relocate to Las Vegas. This transition was finalized in 2020, hence the team’s current identity as the Las Vegas Raiders.
Throughout their history, the Raiders have secured three Super Bowl titles. They clinched their first championship in 1976, known as Super Bowl XI, under the guidance of the iconic head coach John Madden. Subsequent victories came in 1980 during Super Bowl XV and in 1983, in Super Bowl XVIII. Notably, Madden was not leading the team for these wins.
Today, the Raiders compete in the AFC West division. They are rivals with teams such as the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, and Los Angeles Chargers.
