Overview

  • The Washington Commanders officially confirmed President Trump will be at Sunday’s game for the halftime Salute to Service observance.
  • ESPN’s Pat McAfee first reported the plan, the White House reposted his announcement on X, and McAfee said he received a direct text from the administration.
  • Trump is expected to watch from owner Josh Harris’s suite, per the team’s statement and McAfee’s report.
  • The ongoing federal shutdown has led the Pentagon to limit flyovers, bands, and other official military unit appearances at NFL events.
  • The appearance continues Trump’s run of high‑profile sports visits in 2025 and follows his public disputes over Washington’s name and stadium plans.
