The Texas Rangers farm system consists of seven Minor League Baseball affiliates across the United States and in the Dominican Republic. Four teams are independently owned, while three—the Arizona Complex League Rangers and two Dominican Summer League Rangers squads—are owned by the major league club.
The Rangers have been affiliated with the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders of the Texas League since 2003, making it the longest-running active affiliation in the organization among teams not owned by the Rangers. The longest affiliation in team history was the 28-year relationship with the Triple-A American Association/Pacific Coast League's Oklahoma City 89ers/RedHawks from 1983 to 2010. Their newest affiliate is the Hub City Spartanburgers of the South Atlantic League, which will became the Rangers' High-A club in 2025.
Geographically, Texas' closest domestic affiliate is the Frisco RoughRiders, which are approximately 28 miles (45 km) away. Texas' furthest domestic affiliate is the Single-A Hickory Crawdads of the Carolina League some 920 miles (1,480 km) away.

Prior to the 1963 season, Major League Baseball (MLB) initiated a reorganization of Minor League Baseball that resulted in a reduction from six classes to four (Triple-A, Double-A, Class A, and Rookie) in response to the general decline of the minors throughout the 1950s and early-1960s when leagues and teams folded due to shrinking attendance caused by baseball fans' preference for staying at home to watch MLB games on television. The only change made within the next 27 years was Class A being subdivided for the first time to form Class A Short Season in 1966.




= 1990–2020

Minor League Baseball operated with six classes from 1990 to 2020. In 1990, the Class A level was subdivided for a second time with the creation of Class A-Advanced. The Rookie level consisted of domestic and foreign circuits.

The current structure of Minor League Baseball is the result of an overall contraction of the system beginning with the 2021 season. Class A was reduced to two levels: High-A and Low-A. Low-A was reclassified as Single-A in 2022.
