The P. League+ (stylized as P. LEAGUE+, abbreviated as PLG), pronounced as Plus League, is a Taiwanese men's professional basketball league founded in 2020.[1]

History

The P. League+ was founded by Blackie Chen in 2020.[2] It is the first fully professional basketball league in Taiwan after the Chinese Basketball Alliance (CBA) ceased operations in 2000.[3][4] The first four teams participating in the inaugural season are the Formosa Taishin Dreamers,[5] the Hsinchu JKO Lioneers,[6][7] the Taipei Fubon Braves, and the Taoyuan Pilots.[8] In its second season 2021-2022, the P. League+ added two more teams, the New Taipei Kings and the Kaohsiung Steelers.[9]

Each team plays 40 games, 20 each for home and away. Games are scheduled mainly on weekends and national holidays.
