Washington Commanders Renamed Northwest Stadium

The Washington Commanders have officially renamed their home stadium to Northwest Stadium following a new naming rights agreement with Northwest Federal Credit Union (NWFCU). This multi-year deal, announced on Tuesday, will last through the 2031 season and replaces the previous naming rights held by FedEx since 1999. Northwest Stadium will feature exclusive branding, including a new stadium logo and NWFCU's logo on team practice jerseys. Managing owner Josh Harris expressed excitement about the partnership, emphasizing a shared commitment to enhancing the community and creating memorable experiences for fans. While the current stadium lease runs until 2027, the team continues to pursue plans for a new stadium, with no restrictions from this agreement. An official launch event is set for September 15, coinciding with the Commanders' home opener against the New York Giants.
