The 2015 Houston Astros season was the 54th season for the franchise in Houston, their 51st as the Astros, their third in the American League and their 16th season at Minute Maid Park. The Astros made the playoffs for the first time since 2005, and the first time since moving to the American League. They defeated the New York Yankees in the Wild Card Game before losing in five games to the eventual World Series champion Kansas City Royals in the Division Series.
