How to watch Commanders-Bucs Wild Card game for free: Time and streaming

The 2024 NFL season is coming full circle with a Week 1 rematch in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

The 10-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers won that matchup against the 12-5 Washington Commanders 37-20, but a lot has happened since then — 17 weeks of football, to be precise. Today, Washington enters with the better record, but Tampa Bay has higher seeding.

The Commanders entered this season with a new head coach and a rookie quarterback, but managed the largest win improvement in a year in franchise history and clinched their first playoff berth since the 2020 season. Now, they are hoping to snap a playoff losing streak that dates back to 2005.

The Buccaneers won the NFC South for the fourth season in a row this year, but the road to get there took all 18 weeks of the season and a second-half comeback against the Saints in Week 18. They overcame a four game losing streak mid-season to win six of their last seven — all necessary wins to reach the postseason.

Here’s everything you need to know about Washington vs. Tampa Bay, from start time and channel, to how to watch for free.
