The Carolina Panthers will face the Houston Texans in week 2 of the NFL preseason on Saturday at NRG Stadium.
How to Watch Panthers vs Texans
Date: Saturday, August 16, 2025
Time: 1:00 PM ET
Channel: NBC
The Panthers got beat by 20 in their preseason opener against Cleveland, but the starters only played for a moment before taking a seat. The top wide receiver in the draft, Tetairoa McMillan, flashed during his short time in the game, catching two passes for 43 yards. He displayed his big play ability on a contested sideline catch downfield. The Arizona product looks like a star in the making.
C.J. Stroud did see the field for Houston last week, but the third-year quarterback is looking to bounce back in a big way this season. After setting the league on fire as a rookie, he took a step back in nearly every statistical category. While the Texans were still a solid team last year, they will need Stroud to play like a star to get back into Super Bowl contention.
This is a great NFL matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
