NFL Crypto Betting Platforms Eye Commanders' Brutal Schedule

The Washington Commanders face one of the NFL's most demanding schedules in 2026, and crypto sportsbooks are moving early to capture betting volume around the marquee matchups.

Washington's slate includes all four NFC West teams and the entire AFC South division, plus the Bengals and Falcons. That's a punishing draw for a club that finished third in the NFC East last season. Home games feature the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals, and Atlanta Falcons.

Platforms such as BC.Game and Dexsport have been expanding their NFL betting verticals ahead of the season. They offer instant settlements and cashback rewards, with deposits and withdrawals in major digital assets. The crypto-native model lets bettors skip traditional banking rails entirely, a feature that matters in states where online sports betting remains limited.

The push follows a broader NFL engagement with digital assets. In April 2022, thirteen teams including the Commanders signed sponsorship deals with Socios.com to explore blockchain technology and NFT opportunities. The league limited the issuance of fan tokens, leaving teams to navigate digital engagement strategies without a full endorsement. No new fan tokens or NFTs tied to the Commanders have surfaced in recent weeks.

FanDuel's early win totals already rank the Commanders' schedule among the league's toughest, the sportsbook said.
