The answer depends on which Washington team you mean, because several “Washington” teams played yesterday and all of them lost.

Quick Scoop

  • Washington Capitals (NHL) lost 3–2 to the Nashville Predators.
  • Washington Huskies men’s basketball beat Ohio State 81–74 (a “Washington” win, but this is college, not a pro “Washington vs X” game).
  • Washington Wizards (NBA) lost 112–93 to the Phoenix Suns.

Why it’s tricky

“Washington” could refer to:

  • The Washington Capitals (NHL, D.C.).
  • The Washington Wizards (NBA, D.C.).
  • The Washington Huskies (University of Washington, Seattle).

Each had a game on January 11, 2026, and the results above are all from last night’s slate.

What you can do next

If you tell which sport or opponent you mean (NFL, NBA, NHL, college, vs which team, home/away, etc.), the exact winner for that specific “Washington game” can be pinned down very precisely.
