History

The Astros were presented in February 2019 as a joint effort between the government of the State of Jalisco and Grupo Multimedios, a media conglomerate.

The Astros were one of the three new teams that debuted in the 2019–20 LNBP season, the other two were the Dorados de Chihuahua and the Plateros de Fresnillo.

On July 12, 2022, Astros won its first CIBACOPA championship in its debut season in the league, after beating Rayos de Hermosillo 91–87 in the sixth game of the final. The Astros' American guard Javion Blake was named the Finals MVP.
