2026 Washington Commanders season

The 2026 season is the Washington Commanders' 95th in the National Football League (NFL) and their third under the tandem of general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn. The Commanders will seek to improve upon their injury-riddled 5–12 record from the previous season, make the playoffs after a one-year absence, and end their five-year NFC East title drought. The Commanders unveiled new uniforms in the offseason, inspired by their Super Bowl era uniforms with a new black alternate featuring an alternative speared logo.^[1]
