Where to Watch Your Houston Texans: A Survival Guide
So, you're a die-hard Houston Texans fan, huh? Good for you! Nothing quite like the thrill of watching your team absolutely crush the competition. Or, you know, the heart-wrenching agony of watching them almost crush the competition. Either way, you're in for a rollercoaster of emotions. But let's get down to business: where can you actually watch these adrenaline-pumping games?
Traditional Television: The Good Old Days (Kinda)
If you're a fan of the classic couch potato experience, fear not! There are still plenty of ways to catch the Texans game on your trusty TV.
- Over-the-Air: This is the free option, folks. Check your local listings for CBS, FOX, and NBC. They often broadcast Texans games. Just remember, antenna might be your new best friend.
- Cable/Satellite: If you're already shelling out for a cable or satellite subscription, there's a good chance you've got NFL Network, which shows a ton of games. Plus, you'll probably get your local channels for those over-the-air broadcasts.
Streaming: The Future is Now (Kinda)
For those who prefer to cut the cord or simply want more flexibility, streaming is the way to go. But hold your horses, it's not all sunshine and rainbows.
- Paramount+: This is your go-to for CBS games, including many Texans matchups.

A Word of Caution: Blackouts
Before you get too excited, be aware of the dreaded blackout. If you live in the Texans' market, you might not be able to watch certain games on local channels. It's a cruel twist of fate, we know.
