Navarro, 26, returns to MLS from Argentina's Club Atletico Talleres. He played for the Chicago Fire from 2020-23.
The Rapids also hold a permanent transfer option for 2027 with a club option for 2028.
"Miguel is a left back with proven experience in MLS and at the international level," Rapids sporting director Fran Taylor said. "He's continued to grow through his time in Argentina, and we believe he will bring a competitiveness and maturity to the team."
Navarro registered 11 assists in 104 appearances across all competitions during his time with Chicago.
A Venezuela native, Navarro received his U.S. green card in 2021 and will not occupy an international roster slot.
