WASHINGTON — WUSA9 is excited to announce a new partnership with the NFL's Washington Commanders, making us the DMV's official television station of the team.
As part of this new partnership, WUSA9 will broadcast five exclusive shows, giving you behind-the-scenes access to everything from gameplay and coaching decisions to the team's community engagement.
WUSA9 will also broadcast the Commanders first two preseason games (Aug. 10 at the New York Jets at noon and Aug. 17 at the Miami Dolphins at 7 p.m.), allowing fans to see Jayden Daniels' debut. Our own Chick Hernandez will be the play-by-play announcer for those games as well.
"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.
Four of the shows below will air only while the team is in season, but the fifth show – Command Center – will run year-round.
