Houston Texans 2025 schedule release: Everything to know
Houston Texans 2025 schedule release: Everything to know
The 2025 NFL season is still months away, but we'll soon know exactly when the Houston Texans will be facing their opponents.
The Texans have the 25th-ranked schedule in the league this year (by strength of schedule), so it should feel like a cakewalk for a third division title under DeMeco Ryans and quarterback C.J. Stroud if the offense can remain competitive. On top of facing their AFC South opponents twice, the Texans must also take on the AFC West, the NFC West, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the first-place teams in the AFC, including rematcheds with the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens.
Here's what you need to know about the Texans' 2025 schedule release.

When will the Houston Texans' 2025 schedule be released?
The NFL will release the full 2025 schedule at 8 p.m. on Wednesday.
Who do the Houston Texans play at home in 2025?
The Texans will play their usual three AFC South rivals — the Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans. The divisional rotations have them playing against the AFC West and NFC West. From the NFC, Houston welcomes both the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers, which is expected to be midway through the year. The Texans will also take on the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders as part of their homestands. After only having eight home games last season, Houston will receive a ninth in 2025, meaning it'll play host to the Buccaneers and Bills.
Last season, Houston bested the Bills in Week 5 as a revenge game for then-Pro Bowl wideout Stefon Diggs. The Texans also defeated Baker Mayfield's Buccaneers' in 2023 as time expired on a touchdown pass from Stroud to Tank Dell.
Who do the Houston Texans play on the road in 2025?
The Texans, again, make their usual road trips to divisional rivals Jacksonville, Indianapolis and Nashville. The AFC West road opponents for them include a trip to SoFi Stadium for a rematch of last year's wild-card round against the Los Angeles Chargers. Houston also will travel back to Arrowhead for the third time in 15 months to take on the Chiefs.. The NFC West road trips awaiting them features a return trip to Los Angeles to take on the Rams and a shot up to the Pacific Northwest to take on Seattle. Houston also will have a rematch of last Christmas' beatdown against the Ravens, only this time the game will take place at M&T Bank Stadium. Which leads to the next question.
Will the Houston play on any 2025 holidays?
Right now, it feels unlikely. Unless one of the matchups between Kansas City or Baltimore falls on Sunday Night Football come Thanksgiving weekend, Houston is likely set with a normal schedule this season. That might benefit the two-time AFC South champions since last year, they had two days of rest after facing the Chiefs on Saturday night before a showdown with the Ravens on Christmas afternoon.
Once again, the NFL announced there will be two Christmas games broadcast exclusively on Netflix. Those games will be played in the afternoon. Amazon will host a Thursday Night Football game that Christmas evening, so that's an option. While unofficial, Houston could land one of these Christmas games, but it seems unlikely to happen for a second season.
But, wait, there's more. Peacock will exclusively broadcast a Saturday prime-time game on Dec. 27. That could make sense for a showdown between two contending AFC teams, especially if there's a decline in play across the league at this point in the year.
Will the Houston Texans play any international games in 2025?
The Texans aren't currently scheduled to play an international game this season. And unless the league waits to announce that the Texans vs. Chargers matchup will take place in Week 1 in Brazil, every other spot is filled for 2025.
What are NFL's rules on flex scheduling?
Week 18 games: All games dates/times will be determined at the conclusion of Week 17
Sunday Night Football: Week 5-10, up to twice permitted; Weeks 11-17, at the league's discretion
Monday Night Football: Weeks 12-17, at the league's discretion
Thursday Night Football: Week 13-17, up to twice permitted
Sunday afternoon: Can be shifted between 1 p.m., 4:05 p.m., or 4:25 p.m., or can be moved to Sunday night, Monday night, or Thursday night

Honoring Charlie: Knoxville community tees off to remember young golfer's selfless spirit
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — What does it mean to love like Charlie? 'To be loyal, to be kind, to be giving and to put others before you,' said Charlie's dad, Jimmy Schuster. The phrase embodies how Charlie Schuster lived his life. 'He was very selfless, he thought of others, especially those that he loved, he would just give you the shirt off his back. I just remember he always wanted to be the first Christmas present under the tree that he was giving to other people, he loved his family, loved his friends, it's fitting,' said Jimmy. East Tennessee pastor's 6,000-mile motorcycle ride raising money for free literacy program Charlie passed away in a car accident in early January, but his legacy is far from over. It lives on through events like Thursday's Swider Christmas Classic 2025 golf outing. This year, the event partnered with Charlie's dad, Jimmy Schuster. The event raises funds for the Knoxville Amateur Hockey Association, but this year it also honored Charlie. Funds are being donated to the Charlie Schuster Scholarship Fund and the Connection Center Fig Tree Program in Charlie's honor. 'Just means a lot because, you know, we're gonna be giving to quite a few charities in his honor, and that just means a lot to keep his legacy alive and do positive things,' said Jimmy. A fitting place to honor Charlie, as he had been preparing to play his first season on the green with Hardin Valley. 'He actually loved to golf, he was transitioning from baseball to golf, and he actually planned to golf at Hardin Valley High School that year, which is fitting because Avalon is their home course, so we're glad to have it here,' Jimmy said. Charlie didn't have too much experience on the links, but golf came easily. 'That's the funny thing, He was just natural, his baseball swing helped him out, but he was just natural, I think his baseball swing helped him a lot,' said Jimmy. Even though his dad still had to teach him a few things. 'He used to always tell me how good he was and his scores, and then when I first played with him, I had to teach him how to score properly,' said Jimmy. 'It always just feels like home': Hendon Hooker draws inspiration from youth football camp in Knoxville Part of the reason Charlie loved golf was that he got to spend time with friends and family. Who learned through Charlie, what it meant to love like Charlie, something everyone could do a little more of, 'Being kind to others especially those in need, just thinking of others, putting others before yourself… he did a lot of good things for people, went out of his way,' Jimmy said. So the next time you pick up a golf club and tee off, let that be your reminder to love like Charlie. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
