En Español

The HOUSTON TEXANS' Spanish-language game broadcasts will be heard on six stations covering three U.S. and four Mexican markets this season, with additional Mexican affiliates carrying games on OCTOBER 16th and NOVEMBER 21st.  The Mexican network extension is the result of a partnership with GRUPO RADIO CENTRO.  ENRIQUE VASQUEZ and GUSTAVO RANGEL will call the games with PEDRO VELA as sideline reporter.

“We are proud to be working in partnership with GRUPO RADIO CENTRO to bring the excitement of HOUSTON TEXANS football to our passionate fans across MEXICO,” said TEXANS President JAMEY ROOTES. “GRUPO RADIO CENTRO is a broadcasting leader and we look forward to working with them to air our games in the top-three Mexican markets of MEXICO CITY, GUADALAJARA and MONTERREY, as well as in JUAREZ and EL PASO. This relationship will help us to serve our loyal fans in the region and expand our fans base in MEXICO.”

"The timing is ideal as the NFL will be coming to Mexico and partnering with, not only one of the visiting teams, but with a top-quality NFL franchise like the HOUSTON TEXANS presents great opportunities,” added GRC Chairman & CEO FRANCISCO AGUIRRE GOMEZ. “We look forward to an exciting season and to giving fans an opportunity to follow the team and its star players like J.J. WATT and DEANDRE HOPKINS on a weekly basis on our radio stations.”
