WASHINGTON, D.C. – June 11, 2025 – The Washington Commanders and iHeartMedia D.C. today announced an extension of their English-language, flagship broadcast partnership, continuing a successful collaboration that began with the 2022 NFL season. The renewed partnership ensures that Commanders fans across the DMV will continue to hear live gameday broadcasts on iHeartMedia's BIG 100.3 FM, as well as via the station's website and the iHeartRadio App — iHeartMedia's all-in-one music, podcasting, and live streaming platform.
Since the partnership's inception, iHeartMedia D.C. has amplified the Washington Commanders' presence across the region, offering expansive access to team content and engagement of the team's fanbase through immersive radio, digital, and event-based experiences.
In addition to live gameday coverage, the partnership extension includes a continued focus on Washington Commanders programming across iHeartMedia D.C.'s family of stations and the iHeartRadio App. Fans can enjoy full access to archived broadcasts via the dedicated Washington Commanders channel and look forward to fresh behind-the-scenes content, interviews, and team updates throughout the year.
"We are thrilled to extend our dynamic audio partnership with the Washington Commanders, building on the momentum and shared success we've achieved together the past 3 seasons," said Aaron Hyland, Region President iHeartMedia D.C. "By harnessing the power of audio across BIG 100 and our iHeartMedia platforms with broadcast, podcast, and streaming, we're excited to deliver even more access, energy, and unforgettable gameday moments to Commanders fans throughout the region."
The extension also reinforces a shared commitment to engaging fans beyond the field. The Commanders and iHeartMedia D.C. will continue collaborating on in-market experiences, including fan-favorite events like Commanders Draft Parties and Training Camp, as well as iHeartMedia's signature events such as HOT 99.5's Jingle Ball, WMZQ Fest, DC101- derland, and WASH-For-Kids Radiothon.
