Banana ball is back.
After their wildly popular 2025 tour, which included a stop at Guaranteed Rate Field, the Savannah Bananas announced their 2026 schedule along with a new “World Tour,” a new league and two new teams, including one out of the Midwest.
Stream the Chicago Marathon live Oct. 12 at 7 a.m. CT.
The teams will play at MLB and college football stadiums across the country, including at Wrigley Field, according to the announcement.
All six of the teams in the league will play a 60-game schedule in the new year, according to the Bananas, with a tour championship wrapping up the festivities.
Overall, the six teams will play in 45 states in the coming year, according to the Bananas.
Ticket lotteries are now open for all Bananas games, with information available on the team’s website.
“Enter your details and submit, the lottery website said. “Lottery will be drawn to do the verification process. Only one city of interest is allowed. Please provide accurate information.”
“Entering the Banana Ball Ticket Lottery does not guarantee tickets,” the site went on to say.
The ticket lottery will close Oct. 31, 2025.
Two new teams will be added in 2026 — the beach-themed Loco Beach Coconuts and the Indianapolis Clowns.
The Coconuts and Clowns both named “Prime Time Coaches” that will coach in their biggest games, with former MLB stars Shane Victorino and Ryan Howard serving as the coaches of the two teams, respectively.
The Savannah Bananas will take on the Firefighters at Wrigley Field July 24, 25 and 26, 2026.
