The Raiders were regulars on national television during their inaugural season in Las Vegas, and based on a pair of games announced ahead of tonight’s full NFL schedule reveal, that trend will extend to their second year.

Las Vegas will open next season on Monday Night Football with a Week 1 contest hosting the Baltimore Ravens in what should be the first game with fans at Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders will also play on Thanksgiving for the first time since 2013, traveling to take on the Dallas Cowboys in the traditional holiday afternoon game.

Those are the only two games officially announced ahead of the full schedule reveal slated for tonight at 5 p.m. on NFL Network, but reports have surfaced on several other dates.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, for instance, reported that the Eagles’ trip to Las Vegas will occur as part of Week 7, on Oct. 24. The Washington Post tabbed the Washington Football Team to visit Las Vegas on Dec. 5 for a Week 13 game.

The Raiders’ full list of opponents has been known since the end of last season, and the subsequent one-game addition to the schedule, but tonight is when the league announces who plays where for the whole season.

Read below for all of the currently-known dates. This is a developing story. Check back for more updates later.

Week 1 — vs. Baltimore Ravens, 5:15 p.m., Monday Sept. 13

Week 5 — vs. Chicago Bears, Sunday Oct. 10

Week 7 — vs. Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday Oct. 24

Week 12 — at Dallas Cowboys, Thursday Nov. 25

Week 13 — vs. Washington Football Team, Sunday Dec. 5
