Savannah Bananas Launch Six-Team Banana Ball League, Unveil 2026 Coast-to-Coast Schedule

The move formalizes Banana Ball into a six-team season, pairing a national schedule with a lottery system to manage demand.

Overview

  • The 2026 tour will hit 75 stadiums across 45 states, with announced stops that include Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field, Comerica Park, Progressive Field, and a Disney World debut on May 29–30.
  • Two new clubs join the lineup: the Loco Beach Coconuts and a revived Indianapolis Clowns homage, with Errick Fox as skipper and Ryan Howard named a Primetime coach; Shane Victorino will coach the Coconuts in primetime games.
  • The season structure features the Banana Ball Open from Feb. 26 to April 12, a 50-game regular season through September, playoffs in early October, and the Banana Bowl championship on Oct. 10, 2026.
  • Tickets are available only via an online lottery open through Oct. 31, with prices starting at about $35, and the league warns fans about overpriced or fraudulent resales.
  • Games will also play in large football venues such as Texas A&M’s Kyle Field and Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium, use fast-paced rules like a two-hour limit and fan-caught foul outs, and air on ESPN/Disney platforms and YouTube.
