	Seasons

The 2026 Houston Astros season will be the 65th season for the Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise located in Houston, Texas, their 62nd as the Astros, 14th in both the American League (AL) and AL West division, and 27th at Daikin Park.

Former outfielder Carlos Beltrán and second baseman Jeff Kent, integral pieces to Houston's first-ever National League (NL) Wild Card title in 2004, were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Houston is one of four host cities for the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) tournament, with games to take place at Daikin Park.

Offseason

The Houston Astros concluded the 2025 season with an 87–75 record, narrowly missing the playoffs along with a fifth consecutive AL West division championship. This ended a franchise-record eight-consecutive seasons with a playoff appearance. They ranked second in the AL West and three games behind the division-champion Seattle Mariners. To qualify for the playoffs as a Wild Card, the Astros had tied the Detroit Tigers with identical 87–75 records for the third and final Wild Card position. However, as Detroit won the season series, they retained the tiebreaker to qualify instead of Houston.^[1]

Former second baseman Jeff Kent, who appeared in the 2003 and 2004 seasons for the Astros, was announced as an inductee into the Baseball Hall of Fame, selected through the Contemporary Baseball Era committee. During Kent's latter stage with Houston,^[2] the club won their first-ever playoff series, the National League Division Series (NLDS), to advance to their third National League Championship Series (NLCS). During that playoff run, Kent batted .234/.333/.532 with three home runs and 10 runs batted in (RBI) in 10 games.^[3] Also on the 2004 squad was Carlos Beltrán, an electee to the Hall of Fame via balloting from the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA). Acquired prior to that year's All-Star break in a three-team trade with the Kansas City Royals, Beltrán tied Barry Bonds' playoff record for home runs with eight. Beltrán departed for the New York Mets via free agency that off-season. He returned in 2017 to become a member of Houston's first-ever World Series championship team. Hence, Beltrán became Houston's first-ever Hall-of-Famer as a member both the NL- and AL-era clubs.^[4]

The 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) will take place in Tokyo, Miami, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Houston. In Houston, Daikin Park will host all 10 Pool B games from March 6–11, 2026, and the quarterfinals.^[5]
