The 2024 season was the Las Vegas Raiders' 55th in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, their fifth in Las Vegas, and their only season under the head coach/general manager tandem of Antonio Pierce and Tom Telesco. [1] After starting the season 2–2, The Raiders would go on a ten-game losing streak. The Raiders failed to improve on their 8–9 record from last year as they had their worst start since 2018.

With their loss to the Chiefs the following week, the Raiders were eliminated from playoff contention for the third straight season and were locked into last place in the AFC West for the first time since 2018.
