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 will be 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.^{[Note 1]} 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, 3rd 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 Houston Astros entered the 2025 season as defending American League (AL) West champions, their fourth consecutive division title, seventh AL West title, and 14th division title in franchise history, including those won as former members of the National League (NL) West and NL Central divisions. Further, it was the ninth season in the previous 10 in which they had qualified for the Major League Baseball (MLB) postseason, and franchise-record eighth consecutive.^[1]

In the 2024 AL Wild Card Series (WCS), the Detroit Tigers swept the best-of-3 set, ending Houston's postseason after two games.^[2] The WCS defeat halted Houston's record-setting streak of American League Championship Series (ALCS) qualifications at seven (2017–2023)—the longest in AL history—and the second-longest consecutive LCS appearances after the Atlanta Braves' streak of eight National League Championship Series (NLCS) from 1991 to 1999.^{[Note 2][3]}

On October 14, 2024, it was announced that the Astros would not renew the contract of third base coach Gary Pettis for the 2025 season, concluding a 10-year period with the club.^[4] On October 24, the Astros hired Tony Perezchica to succeed Pettis, and to assume roles as infield coach and run prevention coordinator.^[5]

Following the 2024 World Series, eight Astros, including Alex Bregman, Caleb Ferguson, Ben Gamel, Kendall Graveman, Jason Heyward, Yusei Kikuchi, Héctor Neris, and Justin Verlander each became eligible to elect free agency and did so.^[6] On November 4, the Astros designated right-handers José Urquidy and Oliver Ortega for assignment. Entering his final arbitration season, Urquidy appeared in 79 games and 70 starts for the Astros, going 27–16 wins–losses and 3.98 earned run average (ERA) over 405 innings pitched, and three additional World Series contests won.^[7]

The Astros announced on November 18 that Minute Maid Park was to be renamed Daikin Park the following January 1 as result of a new naming-rights sponsorship with Daikin Industries, Ltd., with corresponding changes to the stadium. This partnership between the Astros and Daikin covered the next 15 seasons through 2039.^[8]

On December 13, 2024, the Astros completed one of the most significant trades in franchise history, sending three-time All-Star, Silver Slugger and Gold Glove Award winner Kyle Tucker to the Chicago Cubs for infielder Isaac Paredes, pitcher Hayden Wesneski, and third base prospect Cam Smith.^[9] Ten days later, the Astros signed free agent first baseman Christian Walker to 3-year, $60 million contract. Walker, who was the winner of the three previous Gold Glove Awards at his position as a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks, had slashed .250/.332/.481 over the prior three seasons.^[10]

Left-handed pitcher Billy Wagner was elected as one five inductees for 2025 to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his tenth and final year of Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) eligibility. Having played nine of his 16 major league seasons in a Houston uniform, Wagner joined his former teammates Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell as the third player to have spent the majority of his career as a member of the Astros to be enshrined into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. His 225 saves while with the Astros remained the most in franchise history at the time of induction.^[11]

The Astros were ranked number 21 in the draft selection order.^[173] Though the Boston Red Sox signed Alex Bregman, the Astros concurrently forfeited a second-round selection and a compensation pick after the fourth round due to signing a free agent who had received a qualifying offer—Christian Walker—and their status as a club that paid luxury tax penalties for the 2024 season.^[174]

Corpus Christi starting pitcher José Fleury received Texas League Pitcher of the Month honors for April. He compiled a 2–0 W–L, 0.82 ERA, 5 walks, and 11 hits allowed in 22 innings over four starts. Beginning the season with 18+1⁄3 scoreless innings, he also held opponents to a .149 average.^[192]

On May 10, 2025, Brice Matthews, playing for Sugar Land, hit for the cycle, the first of his career in professional baseball. He led a 12–7 win over the Salt Lake Bees and the cycle was the second in Space Cowboys franchise history.^[193]

Another player hit for the cycle on May 13, 2025—this time by Colin Barber, an outfielder for Corpus Christi—to lead a 20–14 win against the Frisco RoughRiders at Riders Field. Meanwhile, Zach Cole hit a grand slam, a two-run home run and drove in career-best 8 runs. Cole's 8 RBI tied the Hooks' single-game club record.^[194]

The Space Cowboys won 12 in a row through May 22 until a 16–3 defeat at Constellation Field to the Las Vegas Aviators.^[195]

Miguel Ullola was credited with a 3–0 W–L, 1.17 ERA over 5 starts in the month of May, thus being named Pacific Coast League (PCL) Pitcher of the Month, his first monthly award in the PCL. The league leader for May in ERA and opponents' batting average (.175), he tossed 23 innings, allowed three runs, walked 13, and struck out 34.^[196]

On July 3, Kenedy Corona stroked a walk-off single for Sugar Land, a 7–6 win versus the Round Rock Express in extra innings. In the bottom of the ninth, with Corona on base, Jesús Bastidas hit a game-tying 3-run home run off closer Craig Kimbrel. Down 6–0, it had been Sugar Land's largest comeback through that point in the season.^[197]
