2025 Taiwan Baseball Season
Until October 2025
Taiwan baseball is a ‘big-hitter’ and one of the country’s most popular sports.
A fun night out, make a home-run to a Taiwan baseball game – the 2025 Taiwan baseball season is in full ‘swing’ by July 2025 and runs until October 2025, across two seasons.
Taiwan baseball is suitable for all ages and it is easy to buy baseball tickets online or in person at the baseball stadiums or using the Taiwan convenience store ticket machines in 7-Eleven and FamilyMart – many games are played at the new Taipei Dome in Xinyi.
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).
Please note the Taiwan baseball season takes a short season break in July 2025 so it is the one month when games are less often.
The Taiwan baseball schedule for July 2025 has games every day apart from 1-3, 18-21 and 28 July 2025 – all other days have at least one game and a maximum of 3.
Enjoy the evening action on and off the field as the stands often erupt into cheers with entertainment and dancing also quite common.
