The '''2008 [[Nippon Professional Baseball]] season''' is the 59th, and current, season since the NPB was reorganized in {{by|1950}}. The regular season started on [[March 20]] with the [[Pacific League]] opener, and on [[March 28]] with the [[Central League]] opener. On March 25 and 26, the [[Boston Red Sox]] and [[Oakland Athletics]] played [[MLB Japan Opening Series 2008|2 regular season]] [[Major League Baseball]] games at [[Tokyo Dome]]. During their visit, they also played exhibition games against the Hanshin Tigers and Yomiuri Giants. |
|||
==Changes== |
|||
The Seibu Lions added the prefecture name "Saitama" in front of the team name starting with this season. |
|||
As to reduce the interference to teams whose main players would play in the [[Beijing Olympics|Olympic games]], this year's trade and new foreign players deadlines were pushed to end of July, instead of the end of June. Also, teams having more than three players selected by National teams were given an extra quota of foreign player limit during the Olympic Games. |
|||
The postseason playoff ("Climax Series") regulations have changed to give more advantages to League Champions, now the second stage series will play for 6 games, while the League Champion will have a 1-win advantage. |
|||
In late June, the [[Free Agency]] regulation was amended after negotiation between the players committee and owners. Players are now eligible for free agency after 8 years of service to a team (1 playing year = 145 days on the active roster), previously, players needed 9 playing years to obtain free agency. |

''Note: Whenever multiple teams have same number of wins, the team having better standings in last year's interleague games will have advantage, thus Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks won the interleague title, despite Hanshin Tigers beating the Hawks 3 out of 4 games. A similar rule applies to other teams tied in wins.'' |
|||
== Climax Series == |
|||
The Climax Series does not affect the team's standings, nor an individual's record in the Regular Season. |
