The Houston Texans' 2026 season

The Houston Texans play 17 regular-season games in the 2026 NFL season, 8 at home at Reliant Stadium and 9 away, opening on Sep 13 and finishing on Jan 10. 6 of them are against AFC South rivals. The bye falls in week 8, between Oct 25 and Nov 8 — the one week of the season with no game, and a gap in this team's row on the grid rather than a hole in the data. The longest run at home is 2 games, from Sep 13 to Sep 20; the longest run on the road is 2, from Oct 11 to Oct 18.

Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. That matters more in this league than in any other on the site: a Sunday-evening game in North America is the small hours of Monday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. To see how the Houston Texans' run compares with the rest of the league — who has the harder stretch, and whose bye lands where — the full grid puts all 32 teams side by side.

Frequently asked questions

When do the Houston Texans play next?

The Houston Texans' next game is at home against the Buffalo Bills on Sep 13. The list below shows every remaining game, with kick-off times in your own timezone.

When is the Houston Texans' bye week in 2026?

Week 8, between Oct 25 and Nov 8. That week is a gap in the row on the grid — a bye, not missing data.

How many games do the Houston Texans play in 2026?

17 regular-season games: 8 at home at Reliant Stadium and 9 away, from Sep 13 to Jan 10. 6 of them are against AFC South opponents. The playoffs are not included.

Do the Houston Texans play outside North America in 2026?

Yes — one game: Wembley Stadium on Oct 18. It keeps the league's own calendar date, and the kick-off converts to your timezone like any other game on this page.

What time do the Houston Texans' games start in my timezone?

Every kick-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. The NFL publishes its schedule in US Eastern time, so a Sunday-evening game there starts in the small hours of Monday across Europe, and those carry a +1 mark.
