Houston currently sits at 4-1 in the AFC South entering Week 18. With a win, the Texans would post back-to-back double-digit winning campaigns for the first time since 2019.

To close out the schedule, the Texans will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, bringing their home total to nine games next season. The Buccaneers also finished with a 10-7 record after clinching the NFC South. This past season, Houston traveled to Arlington for a “Monday Night Football” bout with the Dallas Cowboys as the crosstown AFC-NFC matchup.

The Texans schedule for next season, based on a formula from the NFL, will have several familiar opponents. In addition to the six games in the AFC South, Houston will also play the Chiefs, Bills and Ravens again.
