**The Washington Commanders announced a stadium naming-rights deal with Northwest Federal Credit Union.** The facility in Landover, Md, will be called Northwest Stadium. The eight-year agreement runs through 2031 and is effective for the 2024 season.

According to Reuters, financial terms were not disclosed but [Sportico](https://www.sportico.com/business/sponsorship/2024/commanders-stadium-naming-rights-sponsorship-northwest-federal-credit-union-1234794832/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) reported that Northwest Federal is paying more than $8 million per year for the arrangement.

Sportico also stated that the deal with Northwest Federal Credit Union does not include any options on a new stadium, if the Commanders relocate to a potential new home in Maryland, Virginia or Washington, D.C. Commanders owner **Josh Harris** said 2030 was a target date to open a new building.

The 65,000-seat stadium, which opened in 1997, was known as FedEx Field from 1999 until February 2024, when it was temporarily rebranded as Commanders Field.

It is the first naming-rights partnership in NFL history with a credit union, according to the Commanders.
