Taiwan baseball is a ‘big-hitter’ and one of the country’s most popular sports.
The 2025 Taiwan baseball season officially starts on 29 March 2025, across two seasons (with the second season starting in July 2025).
Play-offs for the top three teams are held later in the year to decide the championship series winners. The play offs consist of the first season and second season winners plus the best performing third team.

Called the ‘Chinese Professional Baseball League’, 2025 Taiwan baseball will likely be more popular than ever, after Taiwan’s national baseball team had a historic win at the ‘Premier21 Championship’ in December.
National parades were held to mark the victory and even the Taipei New Year fireworks and Taiwan Lantern Festival had baseball themed celebrations.
2024 was also a big year for Taiwan baseball as the brand new purpose built Taipei Dome opened plus the league expanded to six teams with the addition of TSG Hawks – Taichung’s CTBC Brothers won the 2024 championship.
From prices to dates, here is our guide to getting Taiwan baseball tickets in 2025.

When and where to watch Taiwan Baseball
The Taiwan baseball / CPBL games can usually be seen 6 days a week during baseball season – it is only Monday when there are no baseball games played (and the odd other day). Games are generally played late afternoon or early evening.
This means that if you are visiting Taiwan this year from late March 2025 to October during the Taiwan baseball / CPBL, there will likely be many Taiwan baseball games a week you can catch live at a stadium.
Alternatively, all CPBL Taiwan baseball games are televised – most Taiwan bars also show the live or recorded baseball games.

Taiwan baseball tickets / Taipei baseball
Depending on the time of the season, you can normally pick up Taiwan baseball tickets at the respective stadium box offices.
However, towards the play-offs and series championships (and possibly opening weekend), it may be difficult to get in person tickets.
The popularity of Taiwan baseball in 2025 is set to increase after the incredible win of the national team at ‘Premier21 Championship’ in December 2024.
After their win, a parade was organised in downtown Taipei and repeated across the country – baseball in Taiwan is set to be even BIGGER in 2025.
So it might be wise to book your Taiwan baseball tickets online…
