The Taiwan Premier League could be followed online during the 2020 season, giving viewers in Taiwan and abroad access to domestic football through official broadcasts.
Matches were made available through the Chinese Taipei Football Association's online channels, allowing supporters to watch selected fixtures without charge. Some broadcasts also included English-language commentary, which made the competition easier to follow for viewers outside Taiwan.
Approximate International Kickoff Times
For a 16:00 kickoff in Taipei, the corresponding times for several major regions were approximately:
- United Kingdom 09:00
- United States — East Coast 04:00
- United States — West Coast 01:00
- Japan 17:00
- Australia — East Coast 18:00
- Australia — West Coast 16:00
These times were useful as a general reference for the 2020 season, although supporters still needed to check the individual match schedule because kickoff times could change.
What to Watch in the 2020 Season
