2026 Washington Commanders Season Schedule

ByShaikat Kumar

The Washington Commanders finished the 2025 season at 5-12, enduring an up-and-down year in the NFL while struggling to keep pace in the competitive NFC East. They showed early promise with wins over the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders, and later added a solid road victory against the Giants to complete a season sweep, but divisional play exposed inconsistencies, including being swept by the Dallas Cowboys and splitting with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Commanders also struggled against top-tier opponents such as the Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks, and Detroit Lions, highlighting the gap between them and playoff contenders, while several close losses, including overtime defeats, showed missed opportunities throughout the season. With no playoff appearance, Washington remained in rebuilding mode, though their national exposure stayed consistent across FOX, CBS, NBC/Peacock, ESPN/ABC, and streaming platforms like Prime Video and Netflix. Looking ahead to 2026, the Commanders will aim to improve divisional competitiveness and close out tight games. If they can build consistency, especially against NFC East rivals, they have the potential to move toward playoff contention in a challenging conference.
