After taking the Savannah Bananas and their sister teams to larger and larger venues over the past two years, this year Banana Ball is becoming a six-team league.
With a schedule announcement to their Grayson Stadium home in Savannah, Banana Ball is expanding to become the Banana Ball Championship League. Each team will play a 60-game schedule, finishing with the Banana Bowl Championship in October.
The 2025 Banana Ball Championship is still to be settled as the Firefighters will face the Party Animals on Oct. 11.
In addition to the Savannah Bananas, Texas Tailgaters, Party Animals and the Firefighters, the 2026 schedule will add two new teams. The first of the new teams is the Loco Beach Coconuts. The Coconuts announced also the long-time MLB outfielder Shane Victorino will the the team’s “Prime Time Coach.”
Banana Ball has shown that it can fill football stadiums as well as MLB ballparks. Now, they effectively cover the country, and they have plenty of football stadiums on the schedule.
The Texas Tailgaters’ game at College Station will aim to be the first 100,000 fan game in Banana Ball history, when they play at Kyle Field, which seats 102,000 fans.
The Bananas will play 30 games in Savannah, although some dates have not yet been announced.
