LANDOVER, MD (CelebrityAccess) – The Washington Commanders and Northwest Federal Credit Union (NWFCU) have announced a new, multi-year, exclusive naming-rights agreement for the football team’s stadium, bringing together two institutions with a storied history in the region and community. The agreement, which marks a new chapter for the Washington Commanders, will rebrand the team’s home from Commanders Field to Northwest Stadium. On September 15th, the two organizations will officially kick off the extension and expansion of their existing partnership through a joint press conference at the stadium before the Commanders’ home opener.
“Northwest Federal Credit Union has been an integral part of this community for generations, and we could not be prouder to partner with an organization as committed to the DMV as we are,” said Washington Commanders Managing Partner Josh Harris. “As we continue to work toward our goal of building the Commanders into an elite franchise that consistently competes for championships, we are excited to welcome our team and fans to Northwest Stadium and look forward to creating incredible memories together on the field and in the communities we serve.”
“Northwest is thrilled to continue building on the great work we have achieved alongside the Commanders,” said Northwest Federal Credit Union President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jeff Bentley. “With a combined history of nearly 170 years in the D.C. metro area, this expanded partnership aligned our values to enrich the local community. It is an honor to be able to welcome everyone to ‘Northwest Stadium’ and introduce the inspiring initiatives that this collaboration represents. Together, we look forward to ensuring that Northwest Stadium is an impactful place where we rally together over our common love of football, giving back to the community and creating memorable experiences that last a lifetime.”
This expanded partnership includes exclusive Northwest branding across the stadium, including a new stadium logo featured on exterior and interior signage. Northwest will also serve as the team’s jersey patch partner for off-season and in-season practices. Additionally, the partnership will extend several new experiences and benefits to Commanders fans who are Northwest members, such as discounts on tickets and merchandise.
Northwest and the Commanders aim to combine efforts and further their reach to make a difference. Today’s news strengthens an existing multi-year partnership between the two organizations. In 2023, Northwest became the Commanders’ Official Credit Union Partner, which established Northwest as a vital partner of several Commanders’ charitable events, including the “Commanders Read” community program, the Northern Virginia Science Center STEM event, and the annual Commanders “Harvest Feast.”
