The Washington Commanders and the District of Columbia are set to announce a deal to fund a new football stadium at the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial site in the coming days, three sources told NOTUS.

Mayor Muriel Bowser and Commanders controlling owner Josh Harris are expected to announce the deal in a joint press conference Monday, one of the sources said.

The announcement would cap months of talks between the team and the district and a decade-long effort from Bowser and other D.C. leaders to bring the team back to RFK.
