The Savannah Bananas Announce Historic 2026 Banana Ball World Tour
The Savannah Bananas, baseball’s most electrifying and entertaining team, have just unveiled their most ambitious venture yet: the 2026 Banana Ball World Tour. What started as a small, quirky collegiate summer team in Savannah, Georgia, has exploded into a global sports-entertainment phenomenon, and next year, the Bananas are set to take their high-energy brand of baseball to unprecedented heights.
The 2026 World Tour will span 45 cities across 28 states, including 20 iconic Major League Baseball stadiums and four legendary football venues. For fans of Banana Ball, this marks not just another tour but the definitive step into making the Bananas a national—and even international—entertainment powerhouse.
Banana Ball: Baseball Reimagined
Banana Ball has always been about more than baseball. It’s a fusion of sport, circus, Broadway theater, and pure joy. From players performing choreographed dances between pitches to umpires who moonwalk across the diamond, the Bananas break every traditional rule while rewriting what a baseball game can be. Time limits, no bunting, fans catching foul balls for outs—everything about Banana Ball is designed to keep the crowd on its feet.
In 2026, the Bananas are leaning into this spectacle more than ever, promising larger-than-life halftime-style shows, celebrity cameos, and new in-game stunts that push the boundaries of baseball entertainment.
The Stadiums Get Bigger
One of the most jaw-dropping parts of the tour announcement is the inclusion of massive stadiums. The Bananas will take the field in Fenway Park (Boston), Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles), and Yankee Stadium (New York)—temples of baseball history. But they won’t stop there. The tour will also feature appearances in NFL stadiums such as AT&T Stadium in Dallas, MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and even the legendary Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Jesse Cole, the Bananas’ founder and ringmaster, described it as “the greatest show in sports, scaled up to match the biggest stages America has to offer.”
A Movement, Not Just a Tour
The 2026 World Tour also represents the Bananas’ evolution from a single team to a nationwide entertainment brand. More than just playing games, they are building a movement around joy, fun, and community. Each stop on the tour will include fan festivals, youth clinics, and charity activations aimed at making baseball more accessible to the next generation.
Cole emphasized that the Bananas are not competing with Major League Baseball—they’re reinventing the way fans experience the sport: “Banana Ball is for the kid who can’t sit still in the stands, the family looking for affordable fun, and the lifelong fan who wants to fall in love with baseball all over again.”
The Schedule
Highlights of the 2026 Banana Ball World Tour include:
Opening Weekend in Miami, FL (February 5–6) inside loanDepot Park.
A Midwest swing with games at Wrigley Field in Chicago (May 10–12) and Lambeau Field in Green Bay (May 17–18).
West Coast takeover in June, including Dodger Stadium, Oracle Park in San Francisco, and a three-night finale at Petco Park in San Diego.
A historic Yankee Stadium showdown on August 15, expected to draw the largest Banana Ball crowd ever.
The full schedule includes small-town stops alongside big-league stages, staying true to the Bananas’ grassroots roots while embracing their new global spotlight.
More Than a Game
The Bananas’ 2026 tour is about more than quirky rules and dance-offs. It’s about creating shared moments of joy in an era when fans crave connection. Whether you’re catching a foul ball for an out, watching a player sprint into the stands to snag a pop fly, or laughing as the first-base coach does the worm mid-inning, the Bananas guarantee you’ll leave with a story to tell.
In 2026, baseball may never be the same. The Savannah Bananas are no longer just a team. They are an experience, a revolution, and—judging by the ticket demand—a movement that’s only just getting started.
Banana Ball is going global, and the world is ready to go bananas.
