The 2025 NFL schedule will officially be released tonight around 8 p.m. ET for all 32 teams, but as is the case every year, individual game leaks tend to emerge before then.

While many of these leaks do wind up coming to fruition, nothing is certain until the official announcement occurs.

In addition to facing their AFC South foes twice, the Houston Texans will play the NFC West and AFC West next season, which includes home games against the Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals, as well as away games against both the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. With the Texans finishing first in the division once more, they’ll also face the same-place finisher in the AFC East and AFC North. With that additional 17th game, they’ll face the NFC South same-place finisher at home.

We will be updating this page as leaks continue to surface involving the Texans’ schedule, so keep checking back for updates.
