How to watch the Texans
Sunday afternoon Texans games are broadcast regionally on CBS or FOX, and a team's games are generally shown in its home market (Houston). Outside that area, whether a regional game reaches you depends on the networks' weekly assignments; NFL Sunday Ticket carries out-of-market Sunday afternoon games.
Thursday, Sunday night and Monday night Texans games have their own time slots and are typically televised or streamed nationally. Each game page lists the TV channels in our data source once they are published.
