Pitchers and catchers will report next Thursday, Feb. 16 and position players will report five days later on Tuesday, Feb. 21.
Then the Astros shared what this season's tagline will be.
In 2022, it was #LevelUp, and the Astros exceeded that and then some by bringing the World Series title back to the Bayou City.
In 2023, they've declared they're not ready to give up the throne so get ready to see the phrase #Ready2Reign all over Astros Twitter.
But the ballclub wasn't done yet.
In perhaps one of the most anticipated moments for fans ahead of the regular season, the Astros revealed some of their giveaways.
The Astros will host 57 promotional nights for 81 home games. Here are some of the items you can expect fans to line up early for at Minute Maid Park, plus themes and events, so dust off your gear, friends. Promotional giveaways will be for all fans.
