2026 Texas Rangers season

The 2026 Texas Rangers season was the 66th of the Texas Rangers franchise overall, their 55th in Arlington as the Rangers, and the 7th season at Globe Life Field.

Rangers Manager Bruce Bochy stepped down at the end of the 2025 season and on October 3, 2025, the team hired Skip Schumaker to replace him for the 2026 season.

The Rangers controlled their own destiny entering the last week of the season atop the American League West; however, they lost five of their last seven games and finished a game behind the Houston Astros, who were the first team in MLB history to win a division in a non-shortened season without a winning record.
