2020 Texas Rangers season

The 2020 Texas Rangers season was the 60th of the Texas Rangers franchise overall, their 49th in Arlington as the Rangers, and the inaugural season at the newly constructed Globe Life Field.

On March 12, 2020, MLB announced that because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the regular season would be delayed by at least two weeks in addition to the remainder of spring training being cancelled. Four days later, it was announced that the start of the season would be pushed back indefinitely due to the recommendation made by the CDC to restrict events of more than 50 people for eight weeks. On June 23, commissioner Rob Manfred unilaterally implemented a 60-game season. Players reported to training camps on July 1 in order to resume spring training and prepare for a July 24 Opening Day.

Spring training Texas Ranger pitchers and catchers reported on February 11, 2020, to spring training in Surprise, Arizona, United States.
