The Texans vs Lions live stream is on Thanksgiving day (Nov. 26) at 12:30 p.m. ET/ 9:30 a.m. PT. It's broadcast on CBS.
The Texans vs Lions live stream — or at least all Lions home games — are a Thanksgiving tradition, even though the team hasn't been running on all cylinders for a while. In this NFL live stream, the visiting Texans are favored (slightly) to win, and we can see why.
It's not just that the Lions' (4-6) roar isn't intimidating. And it's not like the Texans (3-7) have a better record. It's about momentum. The Lions come into this game after getting blanked 20-0 by the Carolina Panthers, whereas the Texans convincingly beat the Patriots, 27-20, in week 11.
Oddsmakers currently favor Houston by 3 points, so this could be a close one.

To make matters worse for the Lions, that loss to the Panthers saw Carolina beat them without Teddy Bridgewater (their starting quarterback). Lions QB Matthew Stafford got sacked five times during that demoralizing outing.
Making matters even worse? The Lions just don't have good luck on turkey day. The team sports a 37-41-2 record in Thanksgiving games, and they've lost their last three, with the two most recent L's coming in back to back years against the Chicago Bears.
Here’s how to watch the Texans vs Lions live stream.

Texans vs Lions live streams in the US
In America, Texans vs Lions is going to be broadcast on local CBS affiliates, which are included on most cable TV packages and available on one of our favorite streaming services: fuboTV. Game time is 12:30 p.m. ET/ 9:30 a.m. PT, Thursday, Nov. 26.
Sling TV, our other favorite live TV service, won't be enough to help, as its array of NFL game-hosting networks — FOX, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network — lacks CBS and NFL RedZone.
The more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
It's a case of "you get what you pay for" as Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $45 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $59.99 per month.
