Texans TV Coverage FAQ

What channel is the Texans game on this week?

The Texans are on their bye in Week 8 — no game this week. The coverage map below is from their most recent game.

Why can't I watch the Texans game in my area?

Sunday afternoon NFL games on CBS and FOX are regional: each network airs several games at once, and each local station is assigned one of them based on its market. A typical Texans regional broadcast reaches about 60 of the 210 TV markets, so the rest of the country gets another game in that window. If your local station is showing a different game, the Texans game isn't available over the air where you are — out-of-market games are only available through NFL Sunday Ticket. National games (Sunday, Monday and Thursday nights) aren't affected.

Where did the Texans' last game air?

Giants at Texans (Week 7, October 25, 2026) aired on FOX in 518 counties across 39 TV markets, including New York City, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Boston, and Dallas-Fort Worth.

Where do Texans games get shown the most?

Across the 2024 and 2026 NFL seasons, Houston Texans games have aired most consistently in the Austin, Corpus Christi, and Harlingen-Weslaco-Brownsville TV markets. The all-time footprint map on this page shades every county by how often it's carried a Texans game.
