We're still three to four months away from knowing the exact dates and times of the 2023 NFL regular season schedule but we know the Texans opponents for 2023. In all, they'll play five games against playoff teams. They'll host the Buccaneers and Jaguars, and hit the road for contests at Jacksonville, Cincinnati and Baltimore.
At home next season, the Texans host a nine-game slate against teams who went a combined 60-92-1. Only two teams--the Steelers and Jaguars--had winning records overall last season, and Pittsburgh is the only NRG Stadium opponent with a winning road record in 2022.
Combined, those nine home games are against squads that collectively sported a .359 winning percentage on the road last season. The 2023 Texans home foes went a combined 28-49-1 away from their respective home stadiums last autumn.
