Where to Watch the Commanders Game Today
The Commanders play in the NFC, so FOX carries most of their Sunday afternoon games. Games against AFC teams, like the December 6 trip to Tennessee and the December 13 home game against Houston, move to CBS.
In the Washington, D.C. area, four local stations carry the games:
| Network | Washington station | Channel |
|---|---|---|
| FOX | WTTG (FOX 5) | 5 |
| CBS | WUSA | 9 |
| NBC | WRC (NBC4) | 4 |
| ABC | WJLA (7News) | 7 |
Two national night games are coming up back to back. Washington plays at the Giants on Thursday Night Football on November 12 (Prime Video), then hosts Cincinnati on Monday Night Football on November 23 (ESPN). The Week 16 and 17 games have no network listed yet, and they appear in the schedule below once the NFL sets them.
