What channel is Texans vs. Chargers on?

CBS is the scheduled network. The NFL's Texans schedule and both teams' game information list CBS. In the Houston area, the Texans identify KHOU-11 as the local station.

Having access to CBS does not necessarily mean the game will be shown in every U.S. market. Stations can carry different Sunday afternoon matchups. Check the schedule for your local CBS affiliate or your TV provider's guide before choosing a viewing option. An antenna can receive a participating local station where reception is available, without a streaming subscription.

Can you stream Texans vs. Chargers?

Paramount+ says Texans vs. Chargers is available to stream where it is broadcast by the viewer's local CBS station. An eligible subscription and a supported device are required. Confirm that the game appears in your local listings and in the app before relying on the stream.

If your local CBS station is showing a different game, check NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV. The paid package covers eligible out-of-market Sunday afternoon CBS and FOX games. It can be purchased as a standalone YouTube subscription or added to an eligible YouTube TV plan. Location and other availability restrictions apply, so verify that this matchup is offered for your location before purchasing.

NFL+ is another option for eligible viewers, but its regular-season live video has a key limitation: the NFL says live local and nationally televised games are available on a phone or tablet. It does not provide live out-of-market Sunday afternoon regular-season games. The NFL's viewing guide explains the restrictions. Check your plan and device before kickoff.

How can you listen to Texans vs. Chargers on the radio?

The Texans list 95.7 The Fan for their English-language broadcast and Mega 101 FM for Spanish-language coverage. They also say the live radio call is available free in the Houston Texans app, including outside Houston. Open the app and select its radio option; check local affiliate listings if you prefer a terrestrial station. Details are in the Texans' listening guide.

Chargers fans can tune to KFI AM-640 for the team's English-language call. The Chargers also list Latino Mix 103.9/98.3 FM for Spanish coverage. Radio and video streams can run at different delays, so the audio call may not line up precisely with the television picture.

Where can you follow the score and watch a replay?

The Texans game-day page links to the game center, play-by-play and box score. It is a useful starting point if you cannot watch live or want to check drives and statistics alongside the broadcast. Refresh the page for the latest information; at the verification time above, kickoff was still scheduled for the following minute.

After the game, the teams' official channels are options for highlights and postgame interviews. NFL+ Premium also offers full and condensed replays on supported devices, according to the NFL's plan guide. Replay availability and timing can vary, so check the app rather than assuming a condensed version will be ready immediately.
