2019 CPBL Opening Day: March 23
After the general assembly on November 27, the league have decided the 2019 CPBL Opening Day will be on March 23, 2019. The 2018 Taiwan Series Champion, Lamigo Monkeys will take on the Uni-Lions at Taoyuan Stadium.
Weekday Scheduling Change
To make travel day more manageable for the teams, the CPBL will amend the weekday games schedule to this format below. From the original 1-1-2 to the new 1-2-1 for Tuesday to Thursday games.
| New Format | 2018 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Tuesday | 1 Game | 1 Games |
| Wednesday | 1 Game | 2 Game |
| Thursday | 2 Games | 1 Games |
| Friday | 2 Games | 2 Game |
| Saturday | 2 Games | 2 Games |
| Sunday | 2 Games | 2 Games |
Sunday Afternoon Games are Coming
Another change is to introduce the 2 pm start time for Sunday games in March, April, October and the first two weeks of May. From late May to September, the Sunday games will remain at the original 5 pm start time.
Different Ways to Handle Rainouts
The league is trying something different when it comes to the rainout reschedule games. Instead of announcing the reschedule games straight away, the league will now announce it in batch towards the end of the half-season.
I will be in taipei from the 16-19.of april and 22 of april. Also kaohsiung from 19-22 of april, would like to attend a baseball game, where do i find a schedule and access to tickets.
Thank you
Hi Roy,
From having a quick look. There are games from April 16 to 22, however, you pretty much miss out all the games. This is your only option unless you are willing to travel to different city or change your schedule.
April 19 – Tianmu (Taipei) – Uni-Lions vs Brothers, 18:00
April 19 – Taoyuan (A bit off from Taipei, can take Taipei subway there) – Guardians vs Monkeys, 18:30
