A 6:30 a.m. Pacific Time kickoff for Week 6 of the NFL season? Seriously, who cooked this up? The Houston Texans are hitting the field across the pond in England today, and if you’re like me, you’re probably already cranky about the ridiculously early Sunday morning start. This game is just hours away, and for those of us on the West Coast, it’s going to be the only show in town when the alarm clocks go off.
Crumpets and Kickoffs: Getting Ready for England
Yes, it’s early, but the Texans are playing in London for Week 6. You want to watch the only team that matters, right? (Okay, the Texans matter in this article, duh.) You’ll need NFL Network for the TV broadcast. If you’re old school, 95.7 The Fan has the radio call. For streaming, you’ve got options like DirecTV, Fubo, NFL+, SlingTV, and YouTubeTV, but remember, subscriptions are required for all those. So go grab some crumpets if you’re feeling fancy, and let’s get ready. Go Texans!
Looking Back at Week 5’s Nashville Grind
Last week, on October 11, 2026, C.J. Stroud and the Texans were in Nashville, Tennessee. They walked off the field at Nissan Stadium after defeating the Tennessee Titans. That Week 5 game kicked off at 12 p.m. CST, and it was quite the Sunday. Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta were on the call for CBS, with Alex Kemp as the referee. Radio coverage was also on 95.7 The Fan. Streaming options for that one included DirecTV, Fubo, Hulu + Live Sports, Paramount+, NFL+, YouTube, and YouTubeTV, all requiring subscriptions.
So, here we are at Week 6. I’m already tired and cranky thinking about this early start, but they *better* win this one, dammit. Nothing less will do. Go Texans!
