Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans

Game preview

Planning update: October 3, 2026. Houston visits Tennessee at Nissan Stadium on Sunday, October 11, for Week 5. Kickoff is scheduled for noon CDT in Nashville and Houston, the same as 1 p.m. EDT, 11 a.m. MDT, 10 a.m. PDT, 17:00 UTC and 6 p.m. BST. With construction affecting stadium approaches, decide how you will reach the gate before setting your departure time.

Watching and listening

CBS carries Texans–Titans in selected U.S. markets. Check your local listing during game week; a CBS game is not automatically shown by every CBS station. Paramount+ subscribers can stream the local CBS game across supported devices when this matchup is assigned to their market. The Week 5 television crew and final regional coverage map were not confirmed in the official sources checked for this advance guide.

For U.S. viewers outside the local broadcast area, NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV covers out-of-market Sunday afternoon games, subject to its restrictions. NFL+ live local regular-season video is for phones and tablets; it cannot be cast to a television, and NFL+ is unavailable outside the United States or in U.S. territories. In Nashville, the Titans radio call is on WGFX 104.5 FM.

Build your arrival around the 10 a.m. gates

The posted October 11 schedule uses Central time:

• 8 a.m.: stadium parking lots open for pass holders.
• 9 a.m.: the Gate 1 ticket office opens.
• 10 a.m.: stadium gates and the Pinnacle Titan Up Tailgate open. The tailgate is in the South Plaza near Gates 8 and 9.
• Noon: kickoff.

Leave time after reaching the campus for the walk to your entrance and security. Check the game-day guide again before leaving; posted event arrangements can change.

Parking, walking and transit during construction

On-campus parking for Titans games is sold out, with no day-of sales at the stadium. If you already have a stadium parking pass, use its designated lot and the campus map’s directions. Otherwise, review nearby parking through the stadium transportation planner before driving.

Walking routes from downtown include the Woodland Street, Korean Veterans Boulevard and John Seigenthaler Pedestrian bridges. Woodland Street is the recommended approach for quickest access, but construction can alter pedestrian paths: follow current signs rather than a route remembered from a previous visit. Rideshare pickup and drop-off zones include Crutcher Street south of the stadium and Gay Street across the Woodland Street Bridge; agree on your return pickup location before entering.

WeGo local buses are free on Titans home game days. Routes 4, 14, 23, 41 and 56 serve the stadium area. Bellevue and Hickory Hollow express buses are also free; Cool Springs and Gallatin/Hendersonville express services cost $2 each way. Park-and-ride parking is free, and the stadium bus stop is at Woodland Street and South 1st Street. Use the October 11 transit schedules and boarding locations to plan both directions. The Titans Express train is separately ticketed, and its return leaves Riverfront Station one hour after the game ends. Check the train’s booking deadline before committing to that route.

Get your ticket and bag ready at home

All Titans game tickets are mobile. Open the Titans app, go to Tickets, and check that the October 11 game appears in your account. Select your ticket to display the barcode for entry. Do this before joining the gate queue, with your phone charged. The mobile-ticket instructions include account access and scanning steps; ticket help is available at 615-565-4200.

Clear bags must be no larger than 12 × 12 × 6 inches. A non-transparent bag must be no larger than 4.5 × 6.5 inches, even inside a larger clear bag. You cannot fold an oversized, non-approved bag into a clear one to enter. Read the bag rules while packing. Medically necessary items are allowed after inspection at any gate.

Nissan Stadium is cashless: bring a card or mobile payment method. An empty, clear, soft-sided bottle is permitted; coolers, cans and glass containers are not. Check the stadium policies for other items before you leave.

Arrange accessible arrival in advance

Accessible stadium parking requires both a Titans-issued parking pass and an ADA placard or plate; spaces are first come, first served. For accessible drop-off or pickup, use Lot T and arrange a stadium-issued ADA Lane Pass in advance. That lane pass permits access through the roadblocks, but does not provide parking.

All main entrance gates accommodate wheeled equipment. Ask Fan Services for wheelchair assistance between the gate and your seat; the service does not extend to parking lots or provide a wheelchair for the whole event. Sensory kits are at Sections 124, 309 and 338, and the sensory room is at Section 101. Review the accessibility arrangements and contact the stadium ahead of the game for your specific needs. On event day, text 615-205-3699 for stadium assistance; the general inquiry form is not monitored during the game.

Check Week 5 injury reports and game-day inactives before treating an earlier-week availability label as current. Recheck the local travel forecast and event instructions close to departure.
