The Washington Commanders will return to the District of Columbia and redevelop their former RFK Stadium campus, the team announced.

Washington's new stadium would open in 2030, with groundbreaking expected next year, pending D.C. City Council approval.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged that a new, state-of-the-art Commanders stadium in Washington would drastically increase the chances of the U.S. capital hosting the Super Bowl for the first time.
