The Central League is one of 2 professional baseball leagues in Japan, alongside the Pacific League. Those 2 tournaments are also featured at the http://1xbet.sl/en platform.

Both leagues make up the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) system, which is the top-tier baseball league in Japan, akin to Major League Baseball in the United States. The Central League was founded in 1950, following the post-war restructuring of Japanese baseball. And speaking about the MLB, this is another tournament present at 1xBet too.

The Central League consists of 6 teams:

• the Yomiuri Giants;
• the Hanshin Tigers;
• the Chunichi Dragons;
• the Tokyo Yakult Swallows;
• the Hiroshima Carp;
• and the DeNA BayStars.

The league is named "Central" because of its teams' geographic locations, which are mostly situated in central Japan. This is in contrast to the Pacific League, whose teams are mostly located in the western and southern parts of the country.

The Central League plays a 146-game regular season, where each team plays 18 games against each of the other teams. Don’t forget to try the 1xBet online slots play online before other amazing baseball competitions take place.
