WASHINGTON — Back in June, WUSA9 announced a new partnership with the NFL's Washington Commanders, making us the DMV's official television station of the team. As part of that partnership, we promised to deliver behind-the-scenes access to everything from gameplay and coaching decisions to the team's community engagement, including live day-of coverage of what to expect on game days with a brand new show: Commanders Kickoff.
Tune in every Sunday with WUSA9 hosts Chick Hernandez and Wisdom Martin for the ultimate pregame experience to fuel your excitement for the upcoming game. This show delivers comprehensive coverage and insider insights to prepare you for the gridiron battles ahead. From breaking down the keys to the game to keeping you updated on the latest injury report, we've got you covered. Plus, don't miss out on special segments like the Commanders Fan of the Week, where we celebrate the heart and soul of the team: the fans.
Get ready to dive deep into the world of Washington football like never before, because game day starts here on WUSA9, beginning Sunday.
"The alignment of our mission to inform, inspire and impact and the Commanders mission to not only have a world-class franchise here in the nation's capital, but to make a positive impact in the community, aligned perfectly and both of us saw this as a win-win opportunity," WUSA9 President/General Manager Richard Dyer said of the Commanders partnership.
The new show will air on WUSA9 every Sunday at 11:30 a.m. through Jan. 5, 2025, unless the team does not have a Sunday game — show details for those weeks will be announced at a later date.
WUSA9 is also airing four other Commanders shows throughout the week. Get all the details here.
