Raiders and 49ers Clash in Highly Anticipated Preseason Showdown
15 Aug
Summary
- Raiders played poorly in last preseason game against Seahawks' backups
- Starters expected to play more in this game to shake off rust
- Game will be nationally televised on NFL Network
On August 15, 2025, the Las Vegas Raiders will take on the San Francisco 49ers in a highly anticipated preseason matchup. The Raiders are coming off a disappointing performance in their first preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, where their starters looked "very bad" despite playing against the Seahawks' backups.
This game against the 49ers presents an opportunity for the Raiders' starters to shake off the rust and show what they can do. Head coach Pete Carroll has already confirmed that the starters will be playing, and the team is hoping to see at least one good drive that leads to points or a touchdown.
The game will be nationally televised on NFL Network, allowing fans across the country to tune in and see how the Raiders' starters fare against their NFC West rivals. This is a significant advantage, as preseason games are often difficult to access for those not in the local market.
The Raiders-49ers rivalry, while not within the same division, is still one of the biggest in the NFL. While this is a preseason game, and the intensity may not be as high as a regular-season matchup, the teams are still expected to put on a show for the fans.
