FedEx Ends Naming Rights Agreement with Washington Commanders
The termination comes two years early, amidst the NFL team's search for a new stadium location.
- FedEx has terminated its naming rights agreement for the Washington Commanders stadium, known as FedEx Field since 1999, two years before the contract's expiration.
- The Washington Commanders, under new ownership, are in the process of finding a new stadium site, with renovations and improvements already underway at the current stadium.
- Despite the termination, the team is actively seeking a new naming rights partner to support the next era of Commanders football and other live events.
- The Commanders have faced criticism for the condition of their current facilities, ranking last in the NFLPA's annual report card.
