The [[Washington Commanders]] are a professional [[American football]] franchise based in the [[Washington metropolitan area]]. They are members of the [[NFC East|East]] division in the [[National Football Conference]] (NFC) of the [[National Football League]] (NFL). The Commanders were founded in {{nfly|1932}} as the [[Boston]] Braves, named after the [[History of the Boston Braves|local baseball franchise]].<ref name = "Commanders History">{{cite web|title=Washington Commanders Team History|url=https://www.profootballhof.com/teams/washington-commanders/team-history/|website=[[Pro Football Hall of Fame]]|access-date=March 14, 2024|language=en}}</ref> The franchise changed its name the following year to the Redskins and moved to [[Washington, D.C.]] in {{nfly|1937}}.<ref name="Commanders History" /> In {{nfly|2020}}, the team retired the [[Washington Redskins name controversy|controversial Redskins name]] and briefly played as the Washington Football Team before rebranding as the Commanders in {{nfly|2022}}.<ref name="Commanders History" />

All of the franchise's championships were attained during two 10-year spans. The first period of success was from [[1936 Boston Redskins season|1936]] to [[1945 Washington Redskins season|1945]], when they went to the [[NFL Championship]] six times, winning two of them. The second period of success was from [[1982 Washington Redskins season|1982]] and [[1991 Washington Redskins season|1991]], when they appeared in the postseason seven times, captured four Conference titles, and won three Super Bowls. This period included the [[1983 Washington Redskins season|1983]] and [[1991 Washington Redskins season|1991]] seasons, when the team won 14 games, the most the team have won in a single season.<ref name="Encyclopedia"/> Washington has also experienced periods of extended failure in its history. The most notable period of continued failure was from [[1946 Washington Redskins season|1946]] to [[1970 Washington Redskins season|1970]], when they posted only four winning seasons and did not have a single postseason appearance.<ref name="Encyclopedia"/> During this period, they went without a single winning season between [[1956 Washington Redskins season|1956]] to [[1968 Washington Redskins season|1968]] and posted their worst regular-season record in franchise history, going 1–12–1 in [[1961 Washington Redskins season|1961]].<ref name="Encyclopedia"/> Since their last Super Bowl win in 1991, Washington has only four playoff wins and only three seasons with 10 or more wins.<ref name="Encyclopedia"/>
