Overview

• The Houston Texans will begin their 2025 season on September 7 with an away game against the Los Angeles Rams, marking quarterback C.J. Stroud's first homecoming of the season.
• Houston's home opener is scheduled for September 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football, their first prime-time home game at NRG Stadium in seven years.
• The Texans have been allocated four nationally televised prime-time games, including two Monday Night Football appearances, one Sunday Night Football game, and one Thursday Night Football matchup.
• An early Week 6 bye is expected to provide rest and injury mitigation, but the Texans face a tough late-season stretch against the Bills, Colts, and Chiefs in consecutive weeks.
• Key matchups include head coach DeMeco Ryans' reunion with the 49ers in Week 8 and C.J. Stroud's second homecoming game against the Chargers later in the season.
