DC’s Most Exciting Sports & Entertainment

DC is your ticket to the five major sports leagues, one-of-a-kind events and memorable sports exhibits

DC is home to NHL’s active leading goal scorer, one of MLB's rising stars in CJ Abrams and a storied MLS team. DC sports teams have embodied excellence in recent years, from hoisting the Stanley Cup in 2018 to winning the World Series in 2019 to winning the WNBA Finals in 2019 to winning the 2021 National Women's Soccer League. Catch your next game in the District, where you'll enjoy state-of-the-art sports venues and world-renowned events all year round. And adding to the spectacle, you can also catch a gig at a legendary music venue, see a pre-Broadway production or attend one-of-a-kind events at any number of free museums whenever you visit.
