  • CBS 47 in Fresno will air Broncos–Chargers at 1:25 p.m., not Raiders.
  • A Raiders loss would lock Las Vegas into the top pick for the 2026 NFL Draft.
  • Raiders seek a franchise quarterback; prospects include Mendoza or Dante Moore.

Raiders fans in the Fresno area hoping to watch the Las Vegas Raiders host the Kansas City Chiefs on TV on Sunday will need to find alternative viewing options.

CBS 47, which previously broadcast Raiders games during their Oakland years and early days in Las Vegas, will instead televise the Denver Broncos vs. Los Angeles Chargers matchup.

Both games are scheduled for a 1:25 p.m. kickoff.

The 2-14 Raiders are on the verge of a pivotal moment in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Another loss — especially to their rival Chiefs — would secure Las Vegas the top pick when the draft begins on April 23 in Philadelphia.

The Raiders are likely searching for a franchise quarterback, with potential prospects including Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza or Oregon’s Dante Moore, should he declare for the draft.
