The 2026 Colorado Rockies season will be their 34th in Major League Baseball and their 32nd season at Coors Field. The Rockies will look to improve on their franchise worst 43–119 record from last year, make the playoffs after a seven-year absence, and win the NL West for the first time in franchise history.

The Rockies fired manager Bud Black on May 11 2025 and was replaced by interim manager Warren Schaeffer on November 24 2025.[1]
