The 2018 Texas Rangers season was the 58th of the Texas Rangers franchise overall, their 47th in Arlington as the Rangers, and their 25th season at Globe Life Park in Arlington. The Rangers began the season on March 29 against the Houston Astros and finished the season on September 30 against the Seattle Mariners.

The Rangers completed a 5–4 triple play in their 8–6 win over the Los Angeles Angels on August 16. It was only the third 5–4 triple play in the expansion era (since 1961). It was also the first triple play since 1912 in which the batter was not retired.^[1] The Rangers set a new club record with 13 extra-base hits in a game against the Minnesota Twins on September 2.^[2]

On September 21, the Rangers fired Jeff Banister as manager following much speculation.^[3] Bench coach Don Wakamatsu was promoted to interim manager for the final 10 games of the season.
