With the 2023 NFL Draft and the major phases of free agency over, the next big offseason event is the schedule release. 

After several seasons of mediocrity, it seems that the Texans finally can see a light at the end of the tunnel. The 2023 season will be more about player development and improvement than contention, and that's okay at this point. 

On Thursday, the NFL released the Texans' complete schedule, so let's dive in. 

  • Week 1: @ Baltimore Ravens (Sunday, Sep. 10, 12:00 PM CST)
  • Week 2: vs. Indianapolis Colts (Sunday, Sep. 17, 12:00 PM CST)
  • Week 3: @ Jacksonville Jaguars (Sunday, Sep. 24, 12:00 PM CST)
  • Week 4: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday, Oct. 1, 12:00 PM CST)
  • Week 5: @ Atlanta Falcons (Sunday, Oct. 8, 12:00 PM CST)
  • Week 6: vs. New Orleans Saints (Sunday, Oct. 15, 12:00 PM CST)
  • Week 7: BYE
  • Week 8: @ Carolina Panthers (Sunday, Oct. 29, 12:00 PM CST)
  • Week 9: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Sunday, Nov. 5, 12:00 PM CST)

  • Week 14: @ New York Jets (Sunday, Dec. 10, 12:00 PM CST)
  • Week 15: @ Tennessee Titans (Sunday, Dec. 17, 12:00 PM CST)
  • Week 16: vs. Cleveland Browns (Sunday, Dec. 24, 12:00 PM CST)
  • Week 17: vs. Tennessee Titans (Sunday, Dec. 31, 12:00 PM CST)
  • Week 18: @ Indianapolis Colts (TBD)

With the NFL adopting new scheduling rules that don't guarantee each team a primetime slot, the Texans were quickly hit with a dose of disrespect. The league decided to keep Houston out of the night TV slots.

Talk about a way of getting a chip on the team's shoulders right away.

The team has nine home games and eight away games this season. Houston will have a nice home stretch from Week 11-13 when they welcome the Cardinals, Jaguars, and Broncos to Houston. The Texans will take their bye week in Week 7.
