2026 Washington Commanders season


The 2026 season is the Washington Commanders' 95th in the National Football League and their third under the tandem of general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn. The Commanders will seek to improve upon their record from the previous season, return to the playoffs after a one-year absence, and end their 5-year NFC East title drought.

Offseason

Following the end of the 2025 season, the Commanders fired offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.. Assistant quarterbacks coach David Blough was promoted to offensive coordinator and former Minnesota Vikings defensive pass game coordinator Daronte Jones was hired as defensive coordinator.

Draft
