In the magnetic tape, in a case where a maximum value of an absolute value of a difference between a servo band spacing obtained before storage in an environment of a temperature of 32° C. and relative humidity of 55% and a servo band spacing obtained after storage in the environment for a storage time T is set to A, and T is defined as 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, or 120 hours, a medium life calculated by a linear function of A and a logarithm logeT of T, that are derived from a value of A and a value of the logarithm logeT of T obtained for each T is 3 years or longer. The medium life is T in a case where the A satisfies Equation 1: A=1.5−B.
