The 2016 Houston Astros season was the 55th season for the franchise in Houston, their 52nd as the Astros, their fourth in the American League and their 17th season at Minute Maid Park. After a bad start to their season, with Houston going just 7–17 in April, the Astros bounced back and went on to have a winning record in their next four months, including an 18–8 record in June. But after going 12–15 in September, the Astros were eliminated from playoff contention. They finished in third place in the American League West Division with a final record of 84–78, eleven games back of the division champion Texas Rangers.
2016 marked the final year the Astros will play their spring training ball at Osceola County Stadium in Kissimmee, Florida, where Houston has played since 1985. In 2017, the Astros will move to The Ballpark of The Palm Beaches, a brand new stadium located in West Palm Beach, Florida that Houston will share with the Washington Nationals.
Houston finished fifth in the Grapefruit League with an 18–11 record, four games back of the champion Nationals.
