The Commanders have one of the toughest opponent lists across the league, facing tough defenses and electric offenses. While difficult at first glance, it will ultimately come down to how the games are aligned throughout the season to determine how much of a gauntlet it will actually be for them.

Leaks/Rumors
We have some confirmed reports of the Commanders' 2026 schedule, but there have also been a ton of leaks coming out that have yet to be confirmed. Here is what we are hearing through the rumor mill as we await confirmation from official sources.
Per multiple different reports, the Commanders are rumored to be playing the defending Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks in Week 3 at home, will return home from London in Week 5 to play the New York Giants, face the Eagles at home in Week 8 on Sunday Night Football, in Week 9 remain home against the Los Angeles Rams, head on the road in Week 10 against the Giants on Thursday Night Football, return home in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and play home games in Week 14 and 15 against the Houston Texans and Atlanta Falcons.
We will continue to monitor these leaks/rumors to confirm if they are official slots in the Commanders' schedule.
International Game
The Commanders will be making their way across the pond for the second time in as many seasons, this time to London, England, to face the Indianapolis Colts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Week 4 of the 2026 season.
It will be quarterback Jayden Daniels first international game after missing last year's contest against the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Spain.
The Commanders trail the Colts all-time, 11-21, but should be in great shape to pull out a victory against them in Week 4. The Commanders won the last matchup between the two teams 17-16 back in 2022.
