FedEx ends naming rights agreement for Washington Commanders’ stadium; Team seeks new naming rights partner

The Washington Commanders’ stadium will be getting a new name after more than two decades of being known as FedEx Field. The company is ending its sponsorship of the stadium two years early, reports WTOP.

The team tells WTOP that for now the stadium will be called Commanders Field while the Commanders look to secure a new naming rights partner.

FedEx said in a statement to WTOP that the package delivery giant is focusing on “broader NFL sponsorship and opportunities” as it gives up the naming rights to the Prince George’s County stadium.  “We continuously review our marketing programs to ensure our investments are aligned with our evolving business objectives,” stated FedEx.
