Once known as the Oakland Raiders, the Las Vegas franchise joined the American Football League in 1960. The series has a remarkable track record of moving across cities. While in Los Angeles, the Oakland Raiders played under the name “Los Angeles Raiders” from 1982 to 1994. In 1995, the A’s moved back to Oakland. The NFL team owner’s association blessed the Raiders’ move to Las Vegas in 2017.
It wasn’t until 2020 that the team officially became known as the Las Vegas Raiders after relocating there. After a shaky start, the Raiders found their footing under Al Davis’s leadership in 1963. By his death in 2011, Al Davis’s son Mark had taken over as owner of the team he had helped found in 1972. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Raiders had their most successful eras in the National Football League. In recent seasons, getting into the playoffs has been a constant source of frustration for the squad. Forbes estimates that the brand is worth about $5.1 billion now.

Las Vegas Raiders History:
- The Raiders were founded in Oakland, California, as the league’s eighth charter member in 1960, and they joined the NFL in 1970.
- Until his death in 2011, Al Davis was the majority owner of the Raiders (who played for him from 1972 to 2011). He was the first and only NFL executive ever to hold those positions, and he still holds that record today.
- When the Raiders relocated to the Los Angeles Coliseum in 1982, it was to play in a new stadium. As early as 1995, they made the journey back to Oakland, where they had first settled.
- The Raiders have declared their intention to relocate to Las Vegas in 2020. Their first season at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, began that same year.
