How to Watch Houston Cougars Football Live Without Cable in 2026
Where to Watch the Next Houston Game
Next Game
The next Houston game is against the Cincinnati Bearcats on November 7, 2026 at 12:00 AM EST.
Select a Different Team
Houston is another team projected to contend for the Big 12 title, and so far this season, they are right in it. After defeating Oklahoma State 35-32, Houston is No. 14 in the country with its only loss to Texas Tech. A game against No. 10 Utah awaits to see who will be second in the conference.
The Cougars entered the season with a projected 8.5 wins, and they are only three wins from that total, with just two ranked games left on the schedule. They have an outside shot at the College Football Playoff and should be viewed as a real contender in the conference.
