What a playoff run it has been for the Washington Commanders. Last weekend, the team upset the No.1 seeded Detroit Lions to move on to the NFC Conference Championship game. The Burgundy and Gold will be taking on division foes, the Philadelphia Eagles, this Sunday, January 26, at 3 p.m. The winner will compete for the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl LIX.
While some people like to enjoy the game from the comfort and quiet of their own homes, others will want to celebrate the playoff run at area watch parties, cheering with other Commanders fans. If you are part of the later, join one of these watch parties in and around Northern Virginia.

If you’re looking to watch the game on the biggest screen you can find, head to Arlington Drafthouse & Cinema. Admission is free, and don’t be late, or you might be sitting close to the front. Guests must be 21 and over unless accompanied by a parent. 2903 Columbia Pk., Arlington
