The Houston Texans sit at 2-3 through five games of the 2026 season, third in the AFC South after a start that has not matched the offseason hype. Houston has shown flashes, but back-to-back stumbles in the middle of September left the Texans chasing in a division the Jaguars have taken control of early. With twelve games left, including a London kickoff, two meetings apiece with the Colts, Jaguars and Titans, and a brutal AFC North crossover, the back half will decide whether Houston climbs back into the wild-card race. Below is every remaining game, when it kicks off, how to watch, and a printable copy you can keep on the fridge.

Houston Texans 2026 Results So Far
Through Week 5, Houston is 2-3. The Texans opened with a win over the Buffalo Bills, then hit a rough patch: a 20-6 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, a divisional loss at the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3, and a 34-30 home defeat to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4 that came down to the final possession. Houston steadied itself in Week 5 with a road win at the Tennessee Titans to get back to 2-3, third in the AFC South and still searching for the kind of winning streak that was expected after a hyped offseason.
