Commanders ownership has been considering places in Washington, Maryland and Virginia since buying the team from Dan Snyder in 2022. The most recent progress came when Congress passed a bill transferring the RFK Stadium land to D.C. Former President Joe Biden signed it into law in early January.

Washington, D.C.'s NFL franchise is set to return to the nation's capital as part of an agreement between the organization and the District of Columbia government to build a new stadium.

There’s excitement surrounding the announcement that the Commanders could be coming back to D.C. but there’s also some people against a new stadium at RFK, from residents and some members of council.
