The NFL announced that the Washington Commanders will be playing on Christmas Day.
The Commanders will be hosting their ultimate rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.
Washington Commanders was also selected to play the Miami Dolphins at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, in Week 11. It will be the first-ever regular-season NFL game played in the country. Kickoff time is set for 9:30 am ET on Sun., Nov. 16, with the game being televised on NFL Network.
Washington is coming off a 12-5 record with a run to the NFC Championship game.
It’s been a busy offseason for the Commanders. The organization has been working with the DC government on a deal to secure the RFK site for a new stadium.
Despite not having a ton of draft picks, the Commanders impressed the league with their selections.
Washington got help on the offensive line with Oregon’s Josh Conerly Jr., and they could have gotten the steal of the draft with defensive back Trey Amos.
