The Houston Texans enter the 2025 NFL preseason looking to build on a 10–7 season in 2024, winning the AFC South and earning a wild-card victory over the Los Angeles Chargers before falling 23–14 to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round.

Houston Texans 2025 Preseason Schedule
Check out the team's preseason schedule below:
Jalen Hurts ranked ninth in NFL's Top 10 QB list behind Justin Herbert and Jayden Daniels | The Facility
James Jones explains why it is "awful" to rank Jalen Hurts the ninth-best QB in the NFL behind Justin Herbert and Jayden Daniels.
How will the Texans do this season?
Ben Arthur predicts that the Texans will finish the year at 9-8. Here's Arthur:
"The Texans' Super Bowl-caliber defense has gotten even better this offseason with the addition of former Eagle C.J. Gardner-Johnson , who had six interceptions last season. But Houston's offense is still filled with question marks. Its revamped offensive line looks underwhelming on paper, and, outside of Nico Collins , quarterback C.J. Stroud is expected to lean heavily on rookie receivers. That could mean some tough sledding with a first-place schedule, against opponents like the Bills and Bucs at home and the Chiefs, Rams and Ravens on the road. The Texans should be the team to beat in the AFC South once again, but they remain a step below true contention in the conference."

ESPN to acquire NFL Network, media assets in exchange for 10% equity stake
Disney announced Tuesday that ESPN will acquire the National Football League's NFL Network, and would get broad rights to its other media platforms such as RedZone, in exchange for a 10% equity stake in the sports network. Why it matters: The landmark deal brings the country's biggest sports league even closer to its preeminent sports network as streaming upends live TV. Zoom in: The deal, announced ahead of Disney's earnings report Wednesday, ensures that ESPN will become the premiere destination for NFL coverage, a key advantage as the network looks to lure subscribers to its new streaming service. The agreement allows ESPN to fully own and operate the NFL Network, and integrate it into ESPN's upcoming direct-to-consumer streaming network that's set to debut this fall. NFL's Redzone linear channel will joint Disney's portfolio of TV networks, giving ESPN broad rights to distribute the NFL RedZone Channel to pay TV operators for continued inclusion into their sports packages. ESPN's Fantasy football offering will be combined with NFL Fantasy. The NFL will continue to own and operate some of its media properties, including NFL Films, NFL+, the NFL Podcast Network, the NFL FAST Channel and the official sites for the league's 32 clubs. Between the lines: The deal also gives the ESPN licensing rights to more NFL games and certain NFL content that can be used for the NFL Network and other media assets. With the agreement, ESPN will get access to three additional national NFL games per season through the NFL Network. It also gets access to the seven existing national games aired by the NFL Network, giving it a total of 28 games per season, versus 22 games before. The big picture: The mutually beneficial deal allows both ESPN and NFL to more seamlessly transition into the streaming era. The NFL can offload the responsibility of owning and operating its own linear media networks in a challenging cable environment. Its media assets have a greater distribution opportunity when bundled with ESPN's products. ESPN gets more access to NFL content to attract new subscribers. The bottom line: Both parties lauded the agreement as a win for consumers.
