Washington Commanders history
George Preston Marshall started this franchise in 1932 as the Boston Braves. It took a new name the following year and then moved to Washington, D.C., in 1937. That old name was dropped in 2020 after decades of criticism. Two seasons as the Washington Football Team followed, and the Commanders name arrived in 2022.
On the field, Washington took NFL titles in 1937 and 1942 and won Super Bowls XVII, XXII and XXVI. It has also finished as runner-up six times, including Super Bowls VII and XVIII. The club has played more than 1,300 games and won over 600, with 14 NFC East titles and 26 playoff trips. Its marching band has played a team fight song after home touchdowns since 1937.
