Commanders vs Eagles kicks off Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 8:20 PM ET as a Sunday Night Football matchup at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. Washington leads the all-time series 91–89–6 — more wins than the franchise holds against any other opponent — in a rivalry dating back to 1934.

Because a Sunday night game brings its own logistics, planning your transportation before kickoff is worth sorting now. This guide covers game details, tickets, parking, Metro timing, and every way to get there from DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

Where Is Northwest Stadium?
Northwest Stadium (formerly FedExField) is located at 1600 FedEx Way, Landover, Maryland 20785, in Prince George's County just east of Washington, D.C., inside the Capital Beltway (I-495/I-95) corridor. The Landover location shapes every transportation decision. The stadium sits in a suburban setting served by the Beltway and the Metro, but it's known for significant game-day congestion — the roads and parking lots back up heavily before and after games, and a primetime Sunday night crowd concentrates that traffic into the late evening.
How to Get to Northwest Stadium by Metro
Metro is a reliable option using the Blue or Silver line to Morgan Boulevard station or the Largo station, each about a 15–20 minute walk to the stadium. For a full overview of how Metro fits into DC-area navigation generally, see our guide to getting around Washington DC.
The catch for this specific game is the primetime timing. A Sunday night game finishing after 11 PM runs close to Metro's operating hours — so if you take Metro, confirm the night's closing schedule before leaving home and plan to move promptly after the final whistle. For many fans, the risk of cutting it close with the last train is exactly why a car or private ride becomes the safer call for a late primetime finish.
Driving, Parking & Rideshare for Commanders vs Eagles
Driving to Northwest Stadium means navigating the Capital Beltway (I-495) to the stadium exits, then paid parking that must generally be purchased in advance. The lots open several hours before kickoff for tailgating — a core part of the Commanders game-day tradition — but the same lots become a slow crawl after a primetime game as everyone exits simultaneously.
Rideshare works with designated pickup and drop-off zones, but a Sunday Night Football game in November is a worst-case scenario for post-game rideshare: tens of thousands of fans requesting cars simultaneously after 11 PM drives surge pricing up and wait times long. Pre-arranged transportation sidesteps both the parking-lot gridlock and the rideshare surge in a single move.
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| Metro (Blue/Silver to Largo or Morgan Blvd) | Reliable, ~15–20 min walk — confirm last-train time for the late finish |
| Drive + paid parking | Book in advance; lots open for tailgating but exit slowly after primetime |
| Rideshare | Works on arrival; heavy surge after 11 PM final whistle |
| Private car / group charter | Fixed rate, direct drop-off, timed post-game pickup — avoids both problems |
Getting There From DC, Maryland & Virginia
Northwest Stadium is reachable from across the DMV, with the primetime kickoff giving fans a full day before the 8:20 PM start.
Group Transportation to Commanders vs Eagles 2026
For a group heading to the Eagles game, private or group transportation solves the two hardest parts of a primetime matchup: the post-game parking-lot gridlock and the late-night rideshare surge. A private car, SUV, or party bus drops your group at Northwest Stadium, waits or returns on a set schedule, and gets everyone home together after the game without anyone stuck driving late or hunting for a surge-priced rideshare at 11:30 PM.
This is especially effective for a rivalry game where tailgating is part of the plan — no one has to be the designated driver, the whole group travels together, and the ride home is handled before the night starts. For groups making a longer evening of it in the District before heading to Landover, our Washington DC limo service covers the full evening from DC pickup through the stadium and back.

| Larger group (8–20) from DC, Maryland, or Virginia | Party bus — everyone together, tailgate vibes on the way, no one drives home after 11 PM. Call: (410) 451-0000 |
| Concerned about Metro closing time | Pre-book a car with a confirmed pickup after the final whistle — removes the last-train risk entirely. |
