2020 CPBL

The 2020 CPBL season was the 31st CPBL campaign. It drew more attention than most because, while other countries had been harder-hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, Taiwan had things under control much better so the league began when all other leagues worldwide had been shut down. Some of this attention dissipated as leagues in the US and Japan kicked off as the year progressed.
