The Las Vegas Raiders were originally formed as the Oakland Raiders in 1960 and competed as a charter member of the American Football League. The franchise has a rather unique history of relocating between cities. The Oakland Raiders relocated to Los Angeles and played as the Los Angeles Raiders between 1982 and 1994. The team relocated to Oakland again in 1995. In 2017, the NFL team owners association unanimously approved the relocation of the Raiders Las Vegas. They completed the move in 2020, to be formally recognised as the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders became a formidable force after initial years of struggle when head coach Al Davis joined in 1963. Al Davis eventually became the team owner in 1972 and his son Mark Davis took over the ownership in 2011 upon his death. The Raiders enjoyed their most successful stints in the NFL to date, during the 1970s and the 1980s. The team has struggled in recent years to make it to the Playoffs. The franchise is currently valued at around $5.1 billion, as per Forbes.

The Las Vegas Raiders have enjoyed varied degrees of success over the years in the NFL. The Raiders won their only AFL Championship in 1967 when they had made it to the postseason for the first time ever. The Raiders have a total of 22 Playoff appearances since their establishment. The team enjoyed most of their NFL playoff success during the 1970s. To date, the Las Vegas Raiders have won 15 division titles (3 AFL and 12 NFL), 4 AFC Championships (1976, 1980, 1983, and 2002), one AFL Championship (1967), and three Super Bowl Championships: XI (1976), XV (1980), and XVIII (1983).
The Las Vegas Raiders have one of the fiercest fan bases in the NFL. The fans are called the Raider Nation. The Oakland Raiders had a working class background at the time of establishment and former team owner Al Davis gave the team a bad boy image, especially through an aggressive style of play in the 1970s and 1980s. Members of the Raider Nation take pride in their image, and many of the most devoted Raiders fans dress up in elaborate costumes on game day. Many of these costumes are intended to be intimidating and eccentric while also adhering to the Raiders' silver and black color scheme
The current Las Vegas Raiders home stadium is the Allegiant Stadium. It is the home stadium for the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League (NFL) and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Rebels college football team. It is one of the most expensive stadiums in the world, valued at $1.99 billion.

The Las Vegas Raiders logo is an iconic black and gray logo which features a pirate with a patch over his right eye, while wearing a football helmet. The pirate has been the focal part of the team's logo ever since they were established as the Oakland Raiders.
Las Vegas Raiders’ owner, Mark Davis has an approximate net worth of around $2 billion. He inherited the ownership of the team from his father Al Davis, who is one of the greatest Raiders coaches too. Mark Davis is now the principal owner and managing partner of the Raiders.
