Commanders to Play Indianapolis Colts in London in Week 4

On Wednesday, May 13, the NFL announced the Washington Commanders will host the Indianapolis Colts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, October 4, during Week 4 of the 2026 season.
Washington makes its second consecutive international appearance following a 2025 game in Madrid, while the Colts return to London for the first time since 2016, when they faced the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium.
The league is expanding to a record nine games across seven countries in 2026. The Commanders' home game kicks off at 9:30 a.m., with the NFL managing ticket distribution.
Head coach Dan Quinn noted feeling the 'authentic' energy of the Madrid crowd last season. Contrary to popular belief, returning from international play does not automatically guarantee an immediate bye week.
The full 2026 regular-season schedule will be released Thursday, May 14, revealing the complete slate for all 31 teams and confirming additional international series matchups.
