The 2025 Tampa Bay Rays season was the 28th season of the Tampa Bay Rays franchise, as members of Major League Baseball's American League East Division.
The 2025 season was slated to be the Rays’ 28th season playing at Tropicana Field; however, the stadium was heavily damaged during the passage of Hurricane Milton, rendering it unusable for the entirety of the season. On November 14, 2024, the Rays announced that they will play their 2025 home games at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, the spring training home of the New York Yankees. It is the first time an MLB team has been temporarily displaced from their home stadium since 2021 when the Toronto Blue Jays had to play in stadiums in Buffalo, New York and Dunedin, Florida because of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions from Canada.
The Rays spent most of the season above .500, the high point of which was a 47–36 record on June 28, but collapsed in the second half to finish with a losing season. On September 19, the Rays were eliminated from playoff contention for the second straight season following a loss to the division rival Boston Red Sox.
The 2025 season was the last under the majority ownership of Stuart Sternberg, who reached an agreement to sell his majority ownership of the Rays to a group headed by Patrick Zalupski in September. Sternberg had been the majority owner of the Rays since 2005.
