The team announced that it will face division rival Jacksonville Jaguars in London during Week 9 of the 2019 season.
The game will be played on Sunday, Nov. 3 at Wembley Stadium and kickoff is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. CT. The meeting replaces the Texans' annual trip to Jacksonville as the Jaguars will be considered the home team.
For the first time in franchise history, the #Texans will play in London.

The overseas game in the UK will be a first in franchise history for the Texans.
However, the Texans have played outside U.S. territory before, facing the now former Oakland Raiders in Mexico City in 2016.
The Texans' game is one of four NFL match ups set to be played in the UK during the upcoming season.
WATCH: Londoners love American football, too!
Two of the games will be played at Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium, while two others will be at Wembley Stadium.
Excited to play in front of everyone across the pond! Hopefully Spurs stadium is done by then so we don’t have a schedule conflict at Wembley 😂 https://t.co/7Baf8Yg7i0
