Shortly after the league pegged the Jacksonville Jaguars as one of its annual London host teams, it confirmed the Commanders would be the other team hosting an international game , ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. The Jaguars will host two games in England — one at Wembley Stadium and one at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — while Washington will host one.
The designation sends Washington to Europe for the second consecutive season. The Commanders played the Miami Dolphins in Madrid in Week 11 of the 2025 season, marking the first-ever NFL game in Spain.
Jacksonville has played at least one game in Europe in 13 of the last 14 seasons. The only time the league did not send them overseas was during the COVID-19-impacted 2020 campaign. The Jaguars are also already scheduled to return to Wembley Stadium in 2027.
The Commanders have not yet announced which one of their 2026 home games will be played overseas. They released their scheduled home and away games in January, but the official schedules are not expected until May.
