Schedule Scout: Houston Texans 2025
Are you ready for some football? The Texans’ schedule features four prime-time games this season – two at home and two away – and offers plenty of opportunities for great road trips, either to Houston or to follow the Texans on the road.
For this Schedule Scout, we’ve included events in College Station (100 miles), Austin (170 miles), and San Antonio (200 miles). Even though these aren’t exactly next door to each other, driving between these points in Texas is fairly common – and might drive you right past a Buc-ees.

What we like
On Saturday, you’ve got a great choice of options: both Maryland and Navy have home football games, or you can head into DC for a DC United (2:30pm) and Washington Capitals preseason (7:00) doubleheader. On Sunday, the Ravens take on the Texans at M&T Stadium at 1:00. It’ll be over early enough for you to fly out of BWI that night.

*All times local to game location.
What we like
It’s a Monday night game in Seattle, so there’s plenty of time to roam around the city checking things out. On Friday, the NWSL’s Reign host Utah at Lumen Field. If you really want more sports over the weekend, you could head down to Portland for the Timbers vs. San Diego on Saturday, and still have plenty of time to get back to Seattle for Monday night.

What we like
It’s an easy tripleheader weekend in Houston. On Friday, it’s the Rockets hosting the Pistons at Toyota Center. On Saturday, Rice takes on UConn just a few miles from downtown Houston. On Sunday, the Texans and Niners get the 12pm kickoff.

West Virginia @ Houston, TBD (NCAA-F) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
If you just want to stay local in Houston, there’s Rice at home on Friday, University of Houston at home on Saturday, and then the Texans and Broncos on Sunday. If you want to push the envelope a bit, you could start out in Austin on Friday night and head to the Texas-Vanderbilt game on Saturday. It’s an 11am start, so that gives you plenty of time to get back to Houston for Sunday.

*All times local to game location.
What we like
You can start in San Antonio on Friday and catch Wemby and the Spurs taking on New Orleans, spend Saturday on the Riverwalk, and then make your way to Houston that night. Or you can go straight to Houston and catch Rice vs. UAB on Saturday. Either way, you’ll end up at the Texans-Jags game on Sunday at NRG.

*All times local to game location.
What we like
It’s a Tennessee two-step this weekend. You’ve got the Tennessee Vols on Saturday afternoon, and then the Titans and Texans on Sunday back in Nashville. It’s about a three-hour drive between the two (180 miles), so you’ll probably need to get in the car right after the UT game ends. But it’s a great opportunity to check both off of your list.

What we like
The schedule gods did a great job with Week 12’s lineup. On Thursday night, the Texans take on the Bills at NRG. On Friday, you can explore Houston during the day and see the Rockets take on the Nuggets that night. On Saturday, you’ve got a choice of six college football games. But with nothing but open time on Sunday, you can take your pick without worrying about rushing back to Houston.

Other than the Chiefs’ Sunday night game against the Texans, the only other sporting event happening in KC this weekend is the StorageMart Border Showdown between Kansas and Mizzou at the T-Mobile Center.

You’ll have to settle for NFL football and decent December weather this weekend. It’s just the Cardinals at the Texans at NRG on Sunday. But that will leave plenty of time for some Texas BBQ, and perhaps even a road trip to Austin or San Antonio.

What we like
It’s likely the game will be on Sunday, but since there aren’t many events in Houston this weekend, you can plan based solely on the Texans.
Bottom Line
If you’re heading to Houston for a game, we like the Week 12 Thursday night game against the Bills, followed by the Rockets and college football.
If you’re following the Texans on the road, pay attention to that Week 11 Tennessee Vols / Tennessee Titans doubleheader.
Happy sports traveling!
