Houston Texans 2026 Home Schedule
Every Texans home game at NRG (soon Reliant) Stadium for the 2026 season — plus which games are worth the most, whether you’re buying a seat or selling the ones you can’t use.
The Houston Texans play eight home games at NRG (soon Reliant) Stadium in 2026, opening Sept. 13 vs. the Buffalo Bills. The marquee home game is the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 4 — the priciest ticket of the year for buyers, and the most valuable game to sell if you’re a season ticket holder.

The home games worth the most
Not every game is priced the same — for buyers or for sellers. If you’re a season ticket holder, these are the dates that pay for your season; if you’re going, these are the ones to plan (and budget) for first.
- Dallas Cowboys (Oct. 4) — the marquee. The biggest crowd and the highest resale prices of the year. If you hold season tickets and can only sell one game, this is the one.
- Buffalo Bills (Sept. 13) — the opener. Opening day against a top AFC team draws strong demand and premium pricing.
- Baltimore Ravens (Nov. 29) & Cincinnati Bengals (Sept. 20). Marquee AFC matchups that consistently sell above the average home game.
