Washington Football Team plans to have full capacity at FedEx Field this fall

The NFL will release the 2021 schedule next week. That means dates and times are known for all of the Washington Football Team’s opponents, and single-game tickets will go on sale shortly thereafter.

Yes, you read that correctly. Tickets will go on sale as Washington plans a return to full capacity at FedEx Field this fall. Currently, Maryland restricts outdoor events to 50 percent capacity, however, and all attendees are required to wear masks and practice social distancing.

Washington team president Jason Wright released the following statement:

As we have always said, the safety of our fans, employees, coaching staff and players is our top priority. We take our responsibility to create a safe return for fans very seriously, and we do so with the confidence and collaboration of our state and local public health authorities with whom we stay in constant contact to assure proper protocols are in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Following the 2020 season, our organization was praised for its infection control approaches, and we now endeavor to build on this track record by providing a safe and fun 2021 gameday experience for our fans, the best in all of football.

To celebrate the return of fans to FedEx Field, Washington is waiving all single-game ticket fees for the first 24 hours, beginning when the schedule is released at 8 p.m. ET May 12.
