Get your calendars ready, Commanders fans—the NFL is set to release Washington's full 2026 schedule this Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, and there's plenty to get excited about. While we already know the 14 teams the Commanders will face, Thursday will reveal the prime-time matchups, standalone games, and their highly anticipated trip to London. The opponent for that international game is still under wraps, but all will be confirmed soon.

After navigating one of the toughest schedules in the league last season, Washington finds itself in a more balanced position for 2026. They'll play their standard six games against NFC East rivals, plus cross-division matchups against the NFC West and AFC South. The NFC West, in particular, is a gauntlet—it's arguably the NFL's strongest division, featuring three playoff teams, including the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. That means the Commanders will have to bring their A-game against some of the league's elite.

Here's a breakdown of Washington's 14 opponents for 2026, split by home and away games:

Home Games: Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, and one NFC East opponent (to be determined).

Away Games: Arizona Cardinals, Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots, New York Jets, plus the remaining NFC East foes and the London game.

It's worth noting that Washington is coming off a 5-12 season in 2025, a stark contrast to their 12-5 campaign the year before, which saw them reach the NFC Championship Game. The 2026 slate offers a chance for redemption, with a mix of tough tests and winnable matchups. Whether you're stocking up on Commanders gear for the London trip or prepping for a Seahawks showdown, this schedule promises plenty of drama.
