Blackouts
The NFL's sellout blackout rule (a home game stayed off local TV if not sold out 72 hours before kickoff) has been suspended since the 2015 season and has not come back, so every Commanders game airs on local TV in the DC market regardless of ticket sales. No explicit 2026 league statement was found. Streaming still follows market lines: NFL+ shows live local and primetime games on phones and tablets only, and Sunday Ticket carries only out-of-market Sunday games, so DC-market games stay on WUSA9 or FOX 5.
