Pride Night: Texas Rangers are again only MLB team not to participate
The Texas Rangers are the only Major League Baseball team not to host a Pride Night during the 2025 season.
The Texas Rangers are again the only Major League Baseball team to not host a Pride Night this season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers hosted the first Pride Night back in 2000. Over the course of two decades, every organization except the Texas Rangers have added Pride Nights to their schedules.

The Rangers are the exception, not only among their MLB contemporaries, but among other local professional sports teams. Many organizations, including the Dallas Stars, Dallas Wings and the Dallas Mavericks celebrate Pride during their seasons.
The Houston Astros began celebrating Pride Night back in 2021 and will do so again later on this month.
While the Rangers have never explained why they don't have a designated Pride Night, they have spoken in the past to their efforts to advocate for and support marginalized groups. The Rangers host theme nights throughout the year, including Mexican Heritage Night, HBCU Diamond Day and Hispanic Heritage Night.
Back in 2023, representatives for the Texas Rangers have released statements to questions about their refusal to celebrate Pride Night. They listed various organizations they supported and steps they have taken over the years to create what they say is a 'welcoming, inclusive and supportive environment for fans and employees.'
The Rangers will participate in Pride Night on the road when they visit Camden Yards on June 25 and face the Baltimore Orioles.
