Fresh off their first wins of the season, the Colts and Commanders play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 4, with kickoff at 9:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network.
The Indianapolis Colts take on the Washington Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Sunday, October 4, 2026. The overseas venue makes for an early kickoff on the U.S. East Coast: 9:30 a.m. ET, with NFL Network handling the television broadcast. A live stream is available on Fubo, which offers a free trial to viewers without cable.
Both teams flew to Europe having just collected the first wins of their seasons. Each had opened 0-2 before prevailing in Week 3, so neither carries the weight of an 0-3 start into London. The winner leaves England at 2-2, a considerably better place than either occupied two weeks earlier, which lends this Week 4 meeting more early weight than the records alone might suggest.
How much daylight Jonathan Taylor can create is one of the biggest questions facing Indianapolis. Taylor, who once led the NFL in rushing, has found the end zone four times in three weeks, yet his 3.9 yards per carry runs far beneath the standard he set for himself. Getting him back to that level would change the complexion of the Colts offense.
Daniel Jones sits at the center of the other major offensive concern. Indianapolis giveaways have outnumbered its takeaways by five through three games, a differential the Colts need their quarterback to help erase. Ball security has become an obvious early-season priority for the franchise.
Washington entered the season expecting Jayden Daniels to run the offense at quarterback. Those plans changed in Week 2, when Daniels suffered an injury to his non-throwing elbow, forcing the Commanders into an adjustment they had not anticipated and handing the job to Marcus Mariota.
Mariota answered the call in Week 3. He guided Washington past the Seattle Seahawks, the reigning Super Bowl champions, throwing three touchdown passes and posting a 110.0 passer rating along the way. It was the kind of showing that steadied the Commanders after losing their planned starter.
Mariota and the Washington offense now draw a Colts defense that has allowed more yards than any team in the league. Indianapolis is giving up 417.3 yards per game through three weeks, and how the Commanders attack that unit stands as one of Sunday's central questions.
