SAINTS-TEXANS GAME DETAILS & HOW TO WATCH INFORMATION
SAINTS-TEXANS GAME OVERVIEW:
Following nearly a month of training camp practices at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center and two joint practices at the Los Angeles, opening a preseason with two victories for the first time since 2014 and countless hours of work in the weight room and meeting rooms, the Saints close out their preseason Sunday night when they host the Houston Texans.
Although Houston entered the NFL as the league's newest franchise via expansion in 2002, the Saints and Texans have a long history in the preseason, as this will be the teams' 12th meeting. New Orleans has a 5-6 preseason record against Houston, with the most recent contest a 12-13 loss in the 2022 exhibition opener at NRG Stadium. In the regular season, the clubs have met five times, with the Saints holding a 3-2 edge. They will face off again a second time in 2023, when the Black and Gold travel to Houston to take on the Texans on October 15.

To ensure an enjoyable experience, we encourage you to refer to your Personal Game Plan and review the following important updates below so you are ready for gameday. HERE IS OUR FULL LIST OF WHAT FANS NEED TO KNOW BEFORE ARRIVING ON GAMEDAY.
MOBILE TICKETING & PARKING:
The Saints have shifted to 100% mobile tickets and parking passes. Prior to entering a parking garage or the stadium, you'll need to present your parking pass or tickets on your mobile phone, using either the SAINTS APP or SeatGeek app. Saints ticket holders looking for more information about accessing, transferring, or selling your tickets can find more information and step-by-step tutorials on our MOBILE TICKETS GUIDE.

Once you enter Champions Square, you are now in the action and are able to navigate the full exterior of the Caesars Superdome, 360°.
