Harris led a group that purchased the National Football League franchise last summer for $6.05 billion. He and his team have focused over the past year on improving the fan experience. The team announced in February that it had invested more than $75 million in upgrades to FedExField since it assumed ownership in July 2023.

The ownership team has also hired a new general manager, Adam Peters, and head coach, Dan Quinn. The Commanders drafted Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Jayden Daniels of Louisiana State University in April. Both Harris and Brown have decades of experience in building professional sports teams, with Harris also serving as managing partner for both the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers and the NHL's New Jersey Devils.
