List of Washington Commanders seasons
Wikimedia list article
The Washington Commanders are a professional American football franchise based in the Washington metropolitan area. They are members of the East division in the National Football Conference (NFC) of the National Football League (NFL). The Commanders were founded in 1932 as the Boston Braves, named after the local baseball franchise. The franchise changed its name the following year to the Redskins and moved to Washington, D.C. in 1937. In 2020, the team retired the controversial Redskins name and briefly played as the Washington Football Team before rebranding as the Commanders in 2022.
Over 93 seasons, the Commanders have a regular season record of 641–648–29 (.497) and a playoff record of 25–21 (.543). They have won three Super Bowls (XVII, XXII, and XXVI), two NFC championships, and 15 NFC East divisional titles. Before the AFL and NFL merged in 1970, Washington won two NFL Championships (1937 and 1942). They also played in and lost the 1936, 1940, 1943, and 1945 Championship games. Only six teams have appeared in more Super Bowls than Washington: the New England Patriots (11), and the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos, and San Francisco 49ers (eight each), and the Kansas City Chiefs (6).
