The complete story
The Texans were created in 1999 when the NFL awarded Houston an expansion franchise to replace the Oilers, who had relocated to Tennessee and became the Titans; the team took the field for the first time in 2002 and chose the "Texans" name through a fan-naming process. They have played every home game at the stadium now known as NRG Stadium (originally Reliant Stadium) since 2002. The Titans are considered their chief rival, largely due to the shared Oilers lineage and colors dispute, and the team also contests the Governor's Cup preseason rivalry with the Dallas Cowboys. 2026 marks the franchise's 25th season, with the team seeking a 4th straight playoff appearance after a 12-5 2025 campaign.
