Houston Texans 2026 outlook
The Houston Texans play in the AFC South at NRG Stadium, the first NFL venue built with a retractable roof. They are the league's newest franchise, awarded in 1999 and playing from 2002 after the Oilers left for Tennessee, and they inherited a city with deep football history but no continuous team. Houston has won several AFC South titles and reached the divisional round, but has never played in a conference championship game or a Super Bowl. Division games come twice a year against the Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans, the last of those against the franchise that used to be Houston's own.This page keeps the Texans' roster, weekly injury report, next game and AFC South standings in one place, and prices them. The outlook panel above shows the market-implied probability that Houston wins the division, reaches the playoffs and wins the Super Bowl, with each market's latest move. Prices come from traders on Kalshi and update continuously.
Frequently asked questions
What are the Texans' Super Bowl odds?Kalshi's Super Bowl market prices Houston at 5%, unchanged on its most recent move (updated Sep 9). Contracts settle to $1 if the outcome happens, so the price is the market-implied probability in cents. Houston has never reached a Super Bowl or an AFC Championship game since entering the league in 2002.
How many Super Bowls have the Texans won?None. Houston entered the league in 2002 and has not yet reached a Super Bowl or an AFC Championship game, the only franchise of its era still waiting on both. The Texans have won multiple AFC South titles and playoff games, and the franchise history section below lists division titles and playoff appearances. The city's earlier team, the Oilers, won AFL Championships in 1960 and 1961 and now plays as the Tennessee Titans.
What are the Texans' playoff chances?The market puts Houston's playoff probability at 65% and its AFC South probability at 48% (updated Sep 9). The AFC South is often the most winnable division in the conference, which is why the division and playoff numbers here tend to sit close together. The schedule section below lists the remaining games.
