Watch Texans vs Bears live stream to see the Houston Texans open their home campaign by hosting the 1-0 Chicago Bears. Below we have all the info on how to watch Texans vs Bears from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.

The Texans return to Houston in front of their home fans following a breathless 29-27 win over the Indianapolis Colts. After enjoying a stellar 2023-24 season, the Texans now have Super Bowl expectations. 

Young quarterback C.J. Stroud supremely started his season last week. The second-year quarterback completed 24 passes, throwing for 234 yards and two touchdowns. Stroud marshalled his team to a fabulous away victory. 

Houston will be without tight end Dalton Keene, while the Bears have significant doubts over wide receivers Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen. Both are considered to be game-time decisions. 

The Chicago Bears mounted a 17-point comeback in Week 1 but a road trip to Houston will provide a stern test. Here's where to watch Texans vs Bears and all 2024 NFL live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.
