Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. That matters more in this league than in any other on the site: a Sunday-evening game in North America is the small hours of Monday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. To see how the Washington Commanders' run compares with the rest of the league — who has the harder stretch, and whose bye lands where — the full grid puts all 32 teams side by side.
Frequently asked questions
When do the Washington Commanders play next?
The Washington Commanders' next game is at home against the New York Giants on Oct 11. The list below shows every remaining game, with kick-off times in your own timezone.
When is the Washington Commanders' bye week in 2026?
Week 7, between Oct 19 and Nov 1. That week is a gap in the row on the grid — a bye, not missing data.
How many games do the Washington Commanders play in 2026?
17 regular-season games: 9 at home (8 at Northwest Stadium, 1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium) and 8 away, from Sep 13 to Jan 10. 6 of them are against NFC East opponents. The playoffs are not included.
Do the Washington Commanders play outside North America in 2026?
Yes — one game: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Oct 4. It keeps the league's own calendar date, and the kick-off converts to your timezone like any other game on this page.
What time do the Washington Commanders' games start in my timezone?
Every kick-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. The NFL publishes its schedule in US Eastern time, so a Sunday-evening game there starts in the small hours of Monday across Europe, and those carry a +1 mark.
