There are 4 TEAMS in the top division this year:

Rakuten Monkeys (Maroon jersey)
Chinatrust Brothers (Yellow jersey)
Uni-President Lions (White jersey)
Fubon Guardians (Blue jersey)

These are my favourite team jerseys - they have others!

Here is the SCHEDULE for 2020:

Taiwan is 7 hours ahead of UK and 12 hrs ahead of US (ET)

Which team should YOU support?
