 < Previous season     

The 2023 Tampa Bay Rays season is the 26th season of the Tampa Bay Rays franchise and their 16th as the Rays. The Rays play their home games at Tropicana Field as members of Major League Baseball's American League East Division.

The Rays started the season with 13 consecutive wins, tying the 1982 Atlanta Braves and the 1987 Milwaukee Brewers for the modern era (post-1900) record, and the most since the 1884 St. Louis Maroons, before suffering their first loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on April 14.[1]

On September 17, the Rays are qualified for the postseason for the fifth straight year.[2]
