Understanding the collective electronic phases of two-dimensional (2D) materials requires a comprehensive investigation of the relation between lattice symmetry and electronic structure1-3. Single layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provide a material platform to study collective states such as charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity4-7. By combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we present the electronic characterization of single-layer 1H-TaSe2 grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). We demonstrate that 3×3 CDW order persists despite distinct changes in the low energy electronic structure highlighted by a reduction in the number of bands crossing the Fermi energy (EF) and corresponding modification of Fermi surface (FS) topology. Enhanced spin orbit coupling and lattice distortion in the single-layer limit play a crucial role in the formation of CDW order. Our findings provide a deeper understanding of the nature of CDW order in the 2D limit.
