Rams vs Raiders: what channel, where to watch, announcers

By IsHePlayingToday Staff · Updated Oct 23, 2026

If you're sitting down on Sunday to watch this one, here's the whole sheet in one place: when it starts, what channel it's on, who is in the booth, and the one deadline that settles the biggest question around the game — whether Puka Nacua plays.

The basics

The Los Angeles Rams visit the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, October 25. Kickoff is 4:25 PM ET, in the late Sunday window. The game is on FOX. If you have a live TV streaming service, any of them that carries your local FOX station will carry this game — the thing to check is that your package includes your local FOX affiliate, not a national feed.

If you're watching over the air with an antenna, you're set in both home markets and in the parts of the country where FOX has assigned this game. Sunday afternoon games are regional, so a few areas of the country will get a different late game on FOX. If your FOX station is showing a different matchup, a live TV streaming service with your local station won't change that — the regional map decides, not the app.

Who is calling the game

FOX has sent the crew of Chris Myers, Jonathan Vilma, and Megan Olivi to this one. Myers handles the play-by-play. He's been with FOX since 1998 and has called NFL games for the network for years, so this is a steady, familiar voice on a Sunday afternoon game.

Vilma is the analyst, and he brings a linebacker's eye to the booth. He won a national title at Miami, was picked 12th overall by the New York Jets in 2004, was named the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year, and later won Super Bowl XLIV with the New Orleans Saints. On a game that could turn on how the Raiders handle a banged-up Rams receiver group, his read on defensive choices is worth listening to.

Olivi works the sideline. She's been on FOX's NFL sidelines since 2018, and this is close to a home game for her — she moved to Las Vegas earlier in her career to cover mixed martial arts. Sideline reports matter more than usual in this game, because the biggest news of the day will be about one player's calf.

The time that actually matters: 2:55 PM ET

Kickoff is 4:25, but the most important moment of this game day lands an hour and a half earlier. At 2:55 PM ET, the Rams must post their official inactive list. That list answers the question hanging over this whole game.

Puka Nacua is listed as questionable with a calf injury he picked up in Thursday practice. He won't practice Friday. Reporting from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says the injury is not believed to be serious, and his status is being called up in the air. Davante Adams, the Rams' other big-name receiver, is already on injured reserve with a ruptured hamstring and will not play.

So if Nacua's name is on that inactive list at 2:55, the Rams play the Raiders without their top two receivers, and the game you planned to watch changes shape completely. If his name isn't on it, he's in, and the Rams' passing game is close to whole again. Either way, you won't have to guess past 2:55.

Radio and other ways to follow

If you're in the car, both teams have full radio networks carrying the game live, and the Rams' and Raiders' team sites list their local stations. If you can't watch or listen live, our injury report page will carry the official inactives for this game as soon as the list posts, and the Nacua status page will be updated at the same time.

The bottom line

FOX, 4:25 PM ET, Myers and Vilma in the booth, Olivi on the sideline — and a 2:55 PM ET deadline that tells you what kind of game this is really going to be. Set the channel early, and check the inactives before you settle in.
