The tenth and final season of the American television comedy series The Goldbergs premiered on September 21, 2022. In February 2023, it was announced that this season would be the last, and the final episode aired on May 3, 2023.
With Beverly alone in the Goldberg house following three high school graduations and the death of Murray, several story lines result in the children continuing to live there while Pop-Pop also moves in after an apartment fire. Adam delays attending NYU to help his grieving mother and gets a P.A. job with David Hasselhoff's film crew before moving on to a classic diner run by former classmates Johnny Atkins and Carla Mann, where he develops a relationship with waitress Carmen. Barry finds himself with no place to stay while attending medical school and is forced to share a bedroom with Adam while Erica and Geoff turn his old room into their baby's room, but as his relationship with Joanne grows, the couple moves into Pop-Pop's repaired home and later elopes. Erica graduates from college, gives birth to Muriel Allison Schwartz and stays home to raise her as she wavers on whether or not she wants to attend law school. Beverly enjoys being "Bubbie" to Muriel and continues her role as Quaker Warden at the high school, where she develops feelings for Adam's former guidance counselor Joe Perrott but later realizes they have nothing in common. The series ends with Beverly reconnecting with an old high school flame, Erica and Geoff celebrating their daughter's first birthday, Barry and Joanne celebrating their unexpected marriage, and Adam and his girlfriend Carmen figure out what's next in life.

Barry and the JTP begin building a whiffle ball park in the back yard. Adam has a good laugh at Barry's expense, until he's told that the real theme behind Field of Dreams is the main character wishing he had one last "catch" with his deceased father. Realizing the film was Barry's way of grieving for Murray, Adam sets out to make things right. Meanwhile, Erica becomes upset when she sees Murray's favorite chair has disappeared. Beverly says she put it out to the curb as a means of closure, but when they go out to retrieve it, the chair is gone.
