How To Watch the Houston Texans 2024 Season

Can the Texans defend their spot atop the AFC South? Check out our watch guide for 2024–2025 Houston Texans.

Rookie quarterbacks rarely enter the league as fully-formed players, but no one told Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud about this in 2023. Stroud and a roster of young talent elevated a previously moribund Texans squad to a 10-7 record and playoff appearance last season. Stroud also racked up the third-most passing yards by a rookie in NFL history and won the NFL Rookie of the Year award.

With the offseason’s Stefon Diggs trade, the Texans have pushed more chips in and are well-positioned to make some noise in a rebuilding AFC South. But how far can it take them in the postseason? Here’s what you need to know to watch the 2024–2025 Houston Texans.

2024–2025 Houston Texans schedule

Following last year’s successes, the Texans will have their hands full for the 2024 NFL season. They opened the preseason against the Chicago Bears squad at the Pro Football Hall of Fame and faced off again in Week 2.

The back half of the Texans schedule considerably ramps up in difficulty, as they’ll face off against multiple playoff contenders—including the Detroit Lions, Dallas Cowboys, and Kansas City Chiefs. They’ll also get a Christmas Day game against the Baltimore Ravens that’ll stream on Netflix for the first time—check out our Christmas football guide and Netflix NFL preview to learn more about the new home for NFL games on Christmas.
