The 2024 Texas Rangers season was the 64th of the Texas Rangers franchise overall, their 53rd in Arlington as the Rangers, and the fifth season at Globe Life Field. They entered the season as the defending World Series champions, after winning their first World Series title in franchise history, as well as the defending American League champions.
As a result of many injuries throughout the season, the Rangers failed to improve on their 90–72 record from 2023 and on September 20, they were eliminated from postseason contention. The Rangers became the first team since the 2020 Washington Nationals to win a title and fail to make the playoffs in the very next year, with Major League Baseball continuing to fail to have a repeat champion since the 2000 New York Yankees. This made the Rangers the 12th team in the past 25 years to win the World Series, then fail to make it to the playoffs the following year.[1][2]
