How the Taiwan Series works
The Taiwan Series is the championship series of the CPBL, Taiwan's professional baseball league. The league's first season was 1990. Until 2002 the final was simply called the CPBL championship series; since 2003 it has been the Taiwan Series. It is a best-of-seven series: the first team to four wins is champion.
The CPBL season is split into two halves. Before 2000, a club that won both halves was crowned champion without a series, which happened in 1992 (Brother Elephants), 1994 (Brother Elephants) and 1995 (Uni-President Lions). Since 2000 a final series has been played every season. See the CPBL postseason page for the current bracket and results.
Taiwan Series records
The CTBC Brothers and the Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions share the record with 10 titles each. The longest run of consecutive titles is 3, by the CTBC Brothers (1992-1994), the Wei Chuan Dragons (1997-1999), the CTBC Brothers (2001-2003), the Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions (2007-2009) and the Rakuten Monkeys (2017-2019).
7 of the 34 final series ended in a sweep, with no loss for the champion, and 11 went the full seven games. The Wei Chuan Dragons have won 6 titles (1990, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2023, 2026), including 2 since their return to the league. The Chinatrust Whales, the China Times Eagles, the Macoto Cobras and the Mercuries Tigers reached the final without ever winning it.
