The Washington Commanders open the 2026 preseason with a home game against the Miami Dolphins. They will be hosting a joint practice with their first opponent of the preseason, something Dan Quinn has done the last two seasons.
That information was first reported by Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic on Thursday evening.
Washington had joint practices with the Jets in 2024, Quinn’s first season, and a practice with the AFC Champion New England Patriots last year. They were also supposed to have a joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens in 2025, but that was called off due to scheduling conflicts.
The Commanders are hosting the Dolphins for their first preseason game on Aug. 16th at 7 p.m. ET. This will be the NFL’s first look at a Miami team that has undergone major changes to their roster and coaching staff. Head coach Mike McDaniel was fired and starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and receiver Tyreek Hill were released. They hired a new general manager (Jon-Eric Sullivan), head coach (Jeff Hafley) and signed QB in free agency.
