The seven-time Super Bowl champion and Raiders minority owner believes Las Vegas will capture a championship by 2030, despite the team's struggles this season.
Tom Brady knows what it takes to win a Super Bowl, and the seven-time champion believes the Las Vegas Raiders will join that exclusive club sooner than many might expect.
Despite the franchise's ongoing struggles, Brady is predicting that Las Vegas will capture a championship by 2030.
The former quarterback, who became a minority owner of the Raiders in 2024, made the prediction during an appearance on The Gronk & Jules Show with former New England Patriots teammates Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski.
Edelman challenged Brady with a simple question about whether the Raiders would win the Super Bowl by 2030.

"True," Brady replied, repeating his answer for emphasis.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Gronkowski joked that he and Edelman could hold Brady accountable if the prediction failed to materialize.
Brady welcomed the possibility, standing by his assessment of the franchise's future.
The prediction comes at an interesting time for Las Vegas.
The Raiders opened the 2026 season with three consecutive victories but have since lost five of six games, falling to 4-5 following Sunday's 38-17 defeat against the San Francisco 49ers.
The latest setback exposed familiar problems, including defensive struggles and five second-half turnovers.
Still, Brady has reasons to believe the organization is building toward something better.
Las Vegas selected quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick in April's NFL Draft, hoping he will eventually become the centerpiece of its offense.
Brady has already been connected to Mendoza's development, with former teammate A.Q. Shipley previously expressing confidence that the legendary quarterback would embrace mentoring the rookie.
For now, veteran Kirk Cousins remains the starter under first-year coach Klint Kubiak.
Raiders owner Mark Davis recently said he was applying no pressure to accelerate Mendoza's transition, emphasizing the importance of allowing the rookie to develop.
The franchise also has young offensive talent in tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty, although both have experienced frustrating moments this season.
Brady's prediction represents an ambitious timetable for a franchise that hasn't won a Super Bowl since the 1983 season, when the Raiders were based in Los Angeles.
Las Vegas will host Super Bowl LXIII in February 2029, providing another reminder of the championship stage the organization hopes to reach.
Whether Brady's confidence proves justified remains uncertain.
But the man who won more Super Bowls than any player in NFL history has now publicly put a deadline on the Raiders' championship aspirations.
