The 2025 Houston Astros season was the 64th season for the Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise located in Houston, Texas, their 61st as the Astros, 13th in both the American League (AL) and AL West division, and 26th at Daikin Park, with this being the first season under the stadium's new name after formerly being named "Minute Maid Park". They entered the season as four-time defending AL West champions with an 88–73 record, and entrants into eight consecutive postseasons, both streaks franchise records, and the second-longest active postseason streak in MLB.
Former relief pitcher Billy Wagner, who spent the majority of his playing career with the Astros, was elected as one of the five honorees to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Wagner became the third player to be elected into the Hall as a member of the Astros, and the eleventh Astro overall. His #13 jersey was retired on August 16.
Making his fourth consecutive Opening Day start, Framber Valdez became the fifth starting pitcher in franchise history to achieve the same. On April 20, 2025, the Astros played the 10,000th game in franchise history, which resulted in a 3–2 defeat to the San Diego Padres at Daikin Park.
Pitchers Hunter Brown and Josh Hader, third baseman baseman Isaac Paredes and shortstop Jeremy Peña each represented the Astros at the MLB All-Star Game, playing for the American League. It was the sixth career selection for Hader, second for Paredes and first for both Brown and Peña. In the first round of the amateur draft, the Astros selected shortstop Xavier Neyens at 21st overall.
The Astros had a strong start to 2025, going 55-35 in their first 90 games and having a 7 game division lead on July 6. However, the team went 32-40 down the stretch. For the first time since the 2020, the Astros did not win the American League West division; it was the first time they didn’t win the division in a full 162-game season since 2016. On September 27, the Astros were officially eliminated from postseason contention for the first time since 2016 following the Cleveland Guardians' 3–2 win over the Texas Rangers, ending the second longest streak in the Majors, and the longest in the American League. The Astros finished with the same 87–75 record as the Detroit Tigers, but lost the head-to-head tiebreaker to miss out.
The Houston Astros drew an average home attendance of 33,677, the 11th-highest of all MLB teams.
