The 2025 season will be the Las Vegas Raiders' 56th in the National Football League (NFL), their 66th overall, their sixth in Las Vegas and their first under general manager John Spytek and head coach Pete Carroll. The Raiders will look to improve on their 4-13 record from 2024, make the playoffs after a three-year absence, and end their 22-year drought of both a playoff victory and an AFC West division title. This will be the Raiders' fourth consecutive season with a new quarterback starting on opening week, as their week 1 starter from 2024, Gardner Minshew, left to go to the Kansas City Chiefs. This season will begin with the team's fourth head coach in five seasons.

Following the end of the 2024 season, the Raiders fired head coach Antonio Pierce.[1] Two days later, general manager Tom Telesco was also fired.[2] Owner Mark Davis said that new part owner of the team, Tom Brady, would play a role in the selection of a new head coach and GM.[3] On January 22, 2025, the team named Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant general manager, John Spytek as the team's new GM.[4] Spytek had a long relationship with Brady going back to college and the two were teammates with the Buccaneers in their 2020 Super Bowl winning season.[4] On January 25, the Raiders named former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll the team's new head coach.[5]
On January 31, the team announced that defensive coordinator Patrick Graham would remain on the staff in the same position.[6] Ohio State offensive coordinator and former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly was named the new offensive coordinator on February 2.[7] On February 3, it was reported that Carroll would hire his son, Brennan, as the team's new offensive line coach.[8]
