WASHINGTON — Commanders owner Josh Harris spoke to the media Monday about the team's historic turnaround, with a trip to the NFC Championship in only his second year at the helm. But a big question on the minds of everyone in the room -- and fans -- is where will the team be playing, when the lease on Northwest Stadium ends in 2027?

Washington Commanders controlling owner Josh Harris said Monday the team name is not changing. Harris said the name is here to stay after inheriting it when he and his group bought the team from longtime owner Dan Snyder in 2023.

Following a nearly two-year rebranding process, Washington landed on Commanders ahead of the 2022 season. The name wasn’t a hit. It’s still not a fan favorite, but more inside and outside team headquarters began embracing the nickname over the 12-5 regular season and two road playoff wins before losing at Philadelphia in the NFC championship.
