Washington runs 4 pro teams across NBA, NHL, NFL, and MLB — the Wizards (NBA), the Capitals (NHL), the Commanders (NFL), and the Nationals (MLB). This page filters every live listing to October 2 – October 4 only — sorted by date so the earliest weekend start sits on top — so a Friday-night game, a Saturday matinee and a Sunday afternoon all surface in one feed.
What's worth seeing in Washington this weekend
Baseball is the value play in Washington: an 81-date home schedule means the Nationals at Nationals Park carry the deepest, softest inventory, and weeknight upper-deck seats are routinely the cheapest tickets in town inside a 41,373-seat ballpark.
Hockey seats swing hard by opponent — the Capitals at Capital One Arena price midweek non-rivalry games far below weekend and Original-Six matchups, so a flexible date is the surest path under $50.
Basketball pricing tracks the marquee visitors: the Wizards at Capital One Arena discount weeknight games against lottery teams, where upper-bowl corners are the value seats in Chinatown / Penn Quarter.
Football is the scarcest ticket — just 9 home dates means the Commanders at Northwest Stadium rarely dip cheap, but early-season and cold-weather late-season games are where resale softens first.
Planning Your Washington Weekend
Washington has 92 games listed for this weekend (October 2 – October 4). Wizards, Capitals, Commanders are among the teams on the schedule. Prices and availability vary by event, seat location and seller. Compare the current listings below, then review the selected seller's final total and terms before purchase.
Washington Weekend Venues
Capital One Arena anchors the Washington weekend calendar, hosting most Wizards home games. The grid above pulls events across every covered Washington venue, so a Friday-night game, a Saturday matchup, and a Sunday afternoon all surface in one feed.
Washington sports market at a glance
Washington is one of the country's deepest sports markets, with 4 pro teams spanning NBA, NHL, NFL, and MLB. That translates to roughly 172 combined home dates across the calendar year, which means competition for entertainment dollars keeps the secondary market active and gives flexible buyers more chances to find value.
Venue capacity shapes the price floor here. Northwest Stadium seats 64,000 for Commanders games, which creates more available inventory per event and generally softer resale pricing. In contrast, Capital One Arena holds 18,573, so Wizards tickets carry tighter supply and higher floors on popular dates.
Game-day guide: Washington venues
Capital One Arena — Wizards (NBA)
Capital One Arena (18,573 seats) is a large indoor arena in Chinatown / Penn Quarter that hosts Wizards (NBA) home games. Upper-level center seats are the value play for sightlines, with lower-bowl corners and baselines offering closer views at mid-range prices. Courtside, rinkside, and club sections sit at the top of the price scale. Multiple commercial garages surround the arena throughout the Penn Quarter and Chinatown blocks, with no large dedicated on-site lot. The Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro station (Red, Green, and Yellow lines) connects directly beneath the arena.
Northwest Stadium — Commanders (NFL)
Northwest Stadium (64,000 seats) is a large open-air stadium in Landover (Prince George's County) that hosts Commanders (NFL) home games. In a stadium this size, upper-deck sideline sections offer the best value views, while lower-bowl seats between the 20-yard lines or behind home plate carry the highest prices. End-zone and outfield seats split the difference. Large surface parking lots ring the stadium along Ring Road, sold by color-coded zones. WMATA Metro Blue/Silver Line Morgan Boulevard station is about a 20-minute walk, with shuttle service on game days.
Nationals Park — Nationals (MLB)
Nationals Park (41,373 seats) is a mid-size stadium in Navy Yard that hosts Nationals (MLB) home games. In a stadium this size, upper-deck sideline sections offer the best value views, while lower-bowl seats between the 20-yard lines or behind home plate carry the highest prices. End-zone and outfield seats split the difference. Team garages sit beside the ballpark along with private lots throughout Navy Yard. WMATA Metro Green Line's Navy Yard-Ballpark station is one block from the main gate.

Where can I find cheap tickets for Washington this weekend?

Most Washington weekend games have gates opening 60–90 minutes before the scheduled start. NBA and NHL games run about 2.5 hours; MLB closer to 3 hours; NFL games closer to 3.5 hours.

Each event card above carries the official start time from live feeds, and the venue or team app pushes the real gate time on game day.
Are weekend tickets safe to buy through this page?
Each listing identifies the ticket seller and opens that seller's checkout.
