BREAKING: Savannah Bananas Announce Monumental 2026 Banana Ball World Tour — 45 Cities, 28 States, and a Nationwide Baseball Revolution
The Savannah Bananas, baseball’s most entertaining and unconventional team, are rewriting the rules of America’s pastime yet again. In a groundbreaking announcement, the Bananas revealed that their 2026 Banana Ball World Tour will visit 45 cities across 28 states, including games at 20 Major League Baseball stadiums and even four football venues. This daring expansion signals more than just a bigger tour — it marks the transformation of the Bananas from a beloved novelty team into a full-blown national entertainment movement, set to revolutionize the way fans experience baseball.
For years, the Savannah Bananas have captured the hearts of fans across the country with their unique take on baseball, which blends world-class athleticism with non-stop entertainment. Their signature style, called Banana Ball, is a fast-paced, fan-focused twist on the traditional game. With rules designed to speed up the action — like a two-hour time limit, batters not being able to step out of the box, and foul balls caught by fans counting as outs — the Bananas have created an experience that keeps spectators on the edge of their seats from the first pitch to the last out.
From Savannah Sensation to National Phenomenon
The team first gained fame at Grayson Stadium in Savannah, Georgia, where they regularly sold out games and became a viral sensation with TikTok videos, choreographed dances, and over-the-top antics both on and off the field. In recent years, their popularity skyrocketed with national tours and a streaming series on ESPN+, proving that fans everywhere were hungry for a new kind of baseball experience — one that combined sports, comedy, and pure spectacle.
Now, with the 2026 Banana Ball World Tour, the Bananas are taking that vision to the next level. Visiting 45 cities and performing at 20 MLB ballparks, this tour isn’t just a series of exhibition games; it’s a bold statement about the future of baseball entertainment. From Yankee Stadium in New York to Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, fans across the country will have the chance to experience Banana Ball in some of the most iconic venues in American sports. The addition of four football stadiums, including NFL facilities, highlights just how massive this movement has become.
A Game-Changer for Baseball
Savannah Bananas founder Jesse Cole, known for his trademark yellow tuxedo, says this tour is all about bringing joy and reimagining baseball for a new generation of fans. “We want every single person, from die-hard baseball lovers to families who have never been to a game, to leave the stadium saying, ‘That was the most fun I’ve ever had at a sporting event,’” Cole said. “Banana Ball isn’t just a game, it’s a celebration. We’re showing that baseball can be both competitive and wildly entertaining.”
The Bananas’ rise mirrors a broader shift in professional sports, where fan experience is becoming as important as the competition itself. By blending elements of circus-like performance, TikTok-worthy stunts, and genuine athletic skill, the Bananas have created something entirely new — a cultural phenomenon that transcends baseball.
Fans Can’t Wait
Tickets for the Banana Ball World Tour are expected to sell out quickly, as demand for previous tours has already proven overwhelming. During the 2023 and 2024 tours, games sold out within minutes, drawing fans from across the country eager to see baseball’s most exciting show. With a 2026 lineup that’s bigger and bolder than ever, this tour is shaping up to be the must-see sporting event of the year.
Whether you’re a lifelong baseball fan or just looking for a night of unforgettable entertainment, the Savannah Bananas’ 2026 World Tour promises something for everyone. From choreographed walk-up songs to players performing mid-game stunts, the Bananas are redefining what it means to “play ball.”
With 45 cities, 28 states, 20 MLB ballparks, and four football stadiums on the schedule, one thing is clear: the Bananas aren’t just a team anymore — they’re a movement, and baseball will never be the same.
