SPORTS IN LAS VEGAS : TEAMS & EVENTS
Matt Dubois - Updated on Nov 1, 2025
Throughout its history, Las Vegas has been able to renew itself to offer more and more new attractions to its visitors and its residents. But one essential area of great American cities has always been lacking; the sport. Indeed, the culture of gaming and sports betting present in the city has for a long time prevented the development of major sports franchises in the city of Nevada. But since 2017 and the installation of the Golden Knights playing in the NHL, the city has experienced remarkable growth in the field. A progression such that in the space of ten years, the city has hosted and will host 3 of the 4 major North American sports in addition to numerous less popular professional leagues. But that's not all ! Las Vegas has also hosted many major sporting events such as Formula 1, the Copa America and the Super Bowl (LVIII). In this article, we introduce you to the sport teams and events you can attend in Las Vegas.
LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
In the United States, one of the most popular sports, is American Football. Most major cities have one or more teams, and being one of the most popular cities in the U.S., Las Vegas is no exception. Indeed, since 2020 the city has hosted the Las Vegas Raiders playing in the NFL (National Football League). The team is not currently performing the best, but that does not stop the fans from putting energy into the various oppositions. The Raiders play part of their matches at Allegiant Stadium during the season which runs from September to January.

LAS VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Yes, a city whose summers reach over 40 degrees Celsius is home to an ice hockey team. The Vegas Golden Knights playing in the NHL (National Hockey League) are the first major team in the city of Las Vegas. They played their first season in 2017 and are currently the only locally born professional sports franchise. And although they are young, they are no less efficient with already a championship title (2023) and two appearances in the final (2018, 2023). Matches are typically played from early October to late April at the T-Mobil Arena on the Strip.

Minor League Sports Teams Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS AVIATORS
If you are keen to see a baseball game and enjoy the atmosphere, you can see the Las Vegas Aviators. This MiLB (Minor League Baseball) team is the Athletics’ development team. But those for a short time. Indeed, the Aviators, formerly known as the Las Vegas Stars or Las Vegas 51s, are the oldest professional team in Vegas (1983). They are currently playing at Las Vegas Ballpak in Summerlin, usually between April and September.
LAS VEGAS LIGHTS FC
The major football or “soccer” league in the United States is the MLS. Unfortunately, there is no MLS team in Vegas. On the other hand, there is the Las Vegas Lights FC of the USL (United Soccer League), a second division league. Lights FC plays at Cashman Field from March to October.
