The Las Vegas Raiders know where and when they play their opponents for the 2023-24 NFL season.

The club's preseason schedule, including the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, and Dallas Cowboys, was released.

According to Vic Tafur of The Athletic, the Raiders will also have joint practices against the 49ers and Rams during training camp in August.

Last season, Las Vegas had one joint practice against the New England Patriots, which one could assume became a benefit in Week 15 when the Raiders defeated New England at Allegiant Stadium.

However, This year, the Raiders won't see any of their preseason opponents during the regular season.

The joint practice with the 49ers means that new Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will be picking up right where he left off, as he'll have one last informal encounter with his old San Francisco teammates as he begins his next chapter as a member of the Silver and Black.

It will also be a reunion for Raiders offensive coordinator Mick Lombardi, who was an assistant to the head coach, an offensive assistant, a defensive assistant, and an offensive quality control coach for San Francisco.

The Raiders met the 49ers last season in arguably one of the best games of the 2022 campaign when Las Vegas took the eventual NFC runner-up to overtime in its first game without longtime franchise quarterback Derek Carr.

Las Vegas' practice with the Rams will be the first meeting between the two teams since the Raiders' heartbreaking loss to Los Angeles in Week 14 of last season when Las Vegas allowed a game-winning drive that went nearly the entire length of the field late in the fourth quarter.

The Rams are somewhat notorious for their joint-practice brawls in recent years, what with their scuffle with the Dallas Cowboys in 2021 and a fight against the Cincinnati Bengals in 2022 that ultimately ended the practice.

The Raiders' offseason workout schedule is as follows:

OTA Offseason workouts: May 22-23, May 25, May 31-June 2, June 12-15

Mandatory Minicamp: June 6-8
