As the Official Broadcast Home of the Raiders, KVVU FOX5 will have the exclusive market rights to carry the Raiders pre-season games, along with producing and airing the pre-game shows for those matchups. During the NFL's regular season, KVVU will have the same market exclusivity to air the Raiders post-game shows and Jon Gruden's weekly press conferences.

The local FOX affiliate and Raiders will also continue their successful community outreach partnership by creating new community wide initiatives and programs that support and strengthen the Southern Nevada communities.
"FOX5 is thrilled to extend our Raiders partnership as their Official Broadcast Home this inaugural year in Las Vegas and years beyond." said Michael Korr, Vice President/General Manager of KVVU FOX5 TV.

"The Raiders are excited to continue our partnership with FOX5 as the team's official broadcast home in Las Vegas," said Raiders President Marc Badain. "Together we remain committed to providing the best Raiders content and coverage to Raiders fans in Southern Nevada and throughout the Raider Nation."
Much of the original programming airing on KVVU FOX5 will be created in the Raiders brand-new Cox Studios located in Henderson, NV at the team's Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center.
KVVU first partnered with the Raiders, in 2017, when the Oakland Raiders announced the future move to Las Vegas. The NFL franchise selected the television station as their Official Las Vegas Broadcast Home to exclusively partner with for image and brand introduction and transition, growing the Las Vegas fan base, community outreach and supporting Las Vegas organizations, non-profits, and other initiatives.
"During our initial 3-year partnership, KVVU and Raiders successfully partnered on countless initiatives, fan building experiences, community campaigns, and exclusive Raiders news, content and programming," said Terri Peck, KVVU Station Manager.
