The Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL; Chinese: 中華職業棒球大聯盟; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Zhíyè Bàngqiú Dàliánméng) is the top-tier professional baseball league in Taiwan. The league was established in 1989 and played the first season in 1990. CPBL eventually absorbed the competing Taiwan Major League in 2003. As of the 2025 season, the CPBL consists of six organizations, all of which have teams in the main league and farm league. The CPBL consists of Major (Chinese: 一軍; lit. 'first/primary corps') and, since 2006, Minor (Chinese: 二軍; lit. 'second/reserve corps') leagues, with the Minor league team rosters consist of developmental and injury-recovering players.
In comparison to Minor League Baseball, when the CPBL only had four teams 10 years ago, it was considered to be at a High-A level, with a wider spread of talent and more offense than American leagues. The league has rapidly grown in recent years, expanding to six teams together with the success of Taiwanese baseball in international competitions. It is currently the fifth-wealthiest baseball league in the world, and the fourth-wealthiest if calculated per team (after MLB, NPB, and KBO). The CPBL is also the fourth-highest attended baseball league in the world, with an average attendance of over ten thousand per game.
CPBL TV is CPBL's official paid live-streaming and video-on-demand platform. It receives signals from each team's broadcasting partners and is available worldwide.
