The Washington Commanders 2026 NFL season schedule has officially been released. They are coming off a 5-12 season but still got four primetime games and a “home” game in London. Quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered multiple injuries, and will be looking to bring the team back to the form from his rookie season, when Washington reached the conference title game.
That all starts in Week 1 when the Commanders will go on the road to face last season’s NFC-East-champion Philadelphia Eagles. That game will set
the tone for the rest of the year. The schedule starts off with a tough schedule that Washington will have to get through with a decent record if they want to return to the playoffs.
FanDuel has the Commanders win total O/U set at 7.5. Will they top that and get another chance at the postseason with Jayden Daniels under center?
