Washington Commanders Football on NewsTalk 790 WNIS
NewsTalk 790 WNIS is proud to once again be your radio home for the Washington Commanders in Hampton Roads! Whether you’re running errands across the Southside, working in the garage, or firing up the grill on Sunday afternoon, we are bringing you every snap, tackle, and touchdown of the 2026-2027 NFL season.
Shaping Up for 2026
While the 2025 campaign tested the team’s resilience with a tough 5-12 finish plagued by injuries, the foundation in Washington remains incredibly strong. The Commanders showed incredible grit by closing out last year with a hard-fought 24-17 divisional win over the Eagles, and that momentum is carrying straight into the offseason. With superstar quarterback Jayden Daniels returning to full health and the front office armed with the #7 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Washington is primed for a major bounce-back year. The pieces are in place, and the team is hungry to return to playoff form.
A Legacy of Greatness
The Commanders boast one of the most storied and celebrated histories in the National Football League. From the unparalleled dominance of “The Hogs” in the trenches to lifting three Lombardi Trophies, this is a franchise built on tradition, toughness, and unforgettable moments. As we broadcast today’s games, we celebrate the decades of memories that make being a Washington fan so special.
The Future is Bright: A New Home on the Horizon
As the team reloads on the gridiron, the franchise is officially building for the future. Groundbreaking begins this year on a spectacular $3.7 billion, 70,000-seat stadium slated to open in 2030! Returning to the hallowed grounds of the old RFK Stadium campus, this world-class venue will feature a translucent dome and a neoclassical colonnade design. It is being built to honor the beloved legacy of RFK while delivering the ultimate modern game-day experience for the next generation of fans.
