Raiders–Saints Week 3 at a glance

The NFL’s 2026 Las Vegas Raiders schedule identifies the Week 3 matchup and lists the kickoff time and CBS. The official Raiders at Saints Game Center gives the location as New Orleans and the stadium as Caesars Superdome. Details below reflect the information available at approximately 11:23 a.m. ET (10:23 a.m. CT) on September 27, 2026.

When does Raiders vs. Saints kick off?

The scheduled start is 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 27. In New Orleans, which is in the Central Time Zone, that converts to 3:25 p.m. CT. The Raiders’ schedule page shows the Eastern Time listing along with a local-time display for Las Vegas, so viewers should use the time zone for the place where they will watch or attend rather than copying a time label without its zone.

The NFL schedule currently lists CBS for the game. Local television availability can depend on the viewer’s market, and the schedule listing alone does not promise that every CBS affiliate will carry this matchup in every location. If you are planning to watch, check the current NFL viewing options or your local TV guide close to kickoff.

Where is the game being played?

The Saints host the Raiders at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. This is an indoor stadium, so the venue is not an open-air field. The official game listing names the Superdome; fans should use the event ticket and current venue guidance for their entry details, gate information, and any restrictions. Those operational details can vary by event and are not established by the NFL schedule page.

For people following remotely, the home-team listing is New Orleans and the visiting team is Las Vegas. That distinction matters when reading abbreviated schedules: “Raiders at Saints” means the Saints are at home, not that the game is in Las Vegas.

Have the official inactives been announced?

Not in the NFL Game Center at the 11:23 a.m. ET check. The game-day inactive list is the final official indication of which eligible players will not dress for this matchup. The Game Center’s injury section may show weekly practice participation or game-status designations such as questionable or out. Those injury-report details are useful context, but they are not interchangeable with the final inactive list.

That distinction matters because a designation is not the same as a confirmed game-day scratch. A questionable player may later be active, and an injury page can contain information that was last updated before the club submits its inactives. Do not treat a practice report or an unconfirmed social post as the official list. Recheck the NFL Game Center or the team’s verified game-day announcement closer to kickoff, and look for an explicit inactive designation for this game.

What is the score, and who won?

No score or winner is available yet. At the time checked, the listed kickoff was still several hours away. Any score prediction would be speculation, so this preview does not name a likely winner or describe a result that has not happened. Once the game begins, use the NFL Game Center for the live score and game status; after the game reaches final, that page is the source to check for the official result.

If the game has already started by the time you read this, refresh the Game Center rather than relying on this pregame snapshot. A live score can change rapidly, and an in-progress score should not be presented as the final result. Look for the explicit “Final” status before reporting the winner or final points.

What should fans verify before kickoff?

• Time zone: 4:25 p.m. ET is 3:25 p.m. CT in New Orleans.
• Venue: Caesars Superdome, New Orleans; confirm gate and entry instructions through the ticket or venue’s current event information.
• Broadcast: The NFL schedule lists CBS; confirm local availability where you plan to watch.
• Inactives: At the recorded check, the official list was not yet shown. Revisit the NFL Game Center close to game time.
• Result: Pending before kickoff. Afterward, confirm that the game center shows “Final” before quoting a score.

This is a time-sensitive pregame update, not a final recap. The confirmed schedule and venue are stated above; the official inactive list and result remain pending until the NFL posts game-day information. The event page is the best single place to recheck for a change in status, final inactives, live score, and final score.
