- Source: 2023 Las Vegas Raiders season
The 2023 season was the Las Vegas Raiders' 54th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 64th overall, their fourth in Las Vegas, and their second and final under the head coach/general manager tandem of Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler. On October 31, following a Week 8 loss to the Detroit Lions, the Raiders fired McDaniels and Ziegler. The Raiders named linebackers coach Antonio Pierce interim head coach, and assistant general manager Champ Kelly interim general manager. Following the season, the team named Antonio Pierce the full-time head coach after the team finished the season with a record of 5–4 under Pierce.
The season was the first since 2013 without longtime quarterback Derek Carr on the opening day roster, as he was released on February 14. The Raiders improved on their 6–11 record from the previous season following their Christmas Day win over the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the Raiders were eliminated from playoff contention for the second consecutive year after a loss to the Indianapolis Colts the next week. They finished the season 8–9 to finish in second place in the division.
On December 14, 2023, the team set a franchise record for most points scored in a game, defeating the Los Angeles Chargers 63–21.

=Week 1: at Denver Broncos
To commence their 2023 season, as well as the post-Derek Carr era, the Las Vegas Raiders traveled to Empower Field at Mile High to face one of their longtime AFC West rivals, the Denver Broncos. It took newly-acquired Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo only one drive and 3 passes to pass a touchdown, as he hit Jakobi Meyers with a 3-yard touchdown pass to put the Raiders up, 7-0. Less than a minute later, Russell Wilson hit Lil'Jordan Humphrey with a 5-yard touchdown pass to cut the Raiders' lead to 7-6, since they couldn't get the extra point.
In the second quarter, Daniel Carlson booted a 24-yard field goal to push the Raiders' lead up to 10–6. However, Vegas trailed for the first time when Russell Wilson hit Courtland Sutton with a 5-yard touchdown pass to put Denver up, 13–10, at the half.
In the third quarter, neither team could score any points; the score stayed 13–10 in favor of the Broncos.
In the fourth quarter, Wil Lutz booted a 24-yard field goal and extended the Broncos' lead to 16–10. However, the Raiders would respond with Garoppolo hitting Jakobi Meyers with a 6-yard touchdown pass for a final score of 17–16.
With the win, the Raiders started the season 1–0, and were the only AFC West team that won their season opener.
