Texans finalize 2021 preseason schedule

The Houston Texans have finalized their 2021 NFL preseason schedule.

The Houston Texans have finalized their preseason schedule for the 2021 exhibition campaign.

The Texans will open up preseason with a trip to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers on Saturday, Aug. 14 at 7:00 p.m. Central Time.

Houston stays on the road once more as they travel to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, to face the Dallas Cowboys at 7:00 p.m. Central Time on Saturday, Aug. 21.

The only preseason game at NRG Stadium for 2021 is on Saturday, Aug. 28 at 7:00 p.m. Central Time when the Texans host the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

2021 will be the first time the Texans will have just three preseason games. From 2002-19, Houston would have two road preseason games and two home preseason games. In 2021, with the move to 17 games, that extra home preseason game has been converted to a home regular season game, giving the Texans nine games at home and eight on the road when the games are for real.
