From February to October, the Savannah Bananas go from ballpark to ballpark, playing the baseball-alternative “Bananaball”. It includes plenty of action, dancing and several other wonky rules to help make baseball a fast-paced sport.
In 2024, the Bananas traveled to 40 different cities all across the country. They traveled to every corner of the United States, including Miami, San Diego, Boston, Seattle and everywhere in between. The Savannah Bananas sold out every venue on their site, and will likely do so again in 2026 as soon as the tickets go on sale.
There’s plenty of ways to stream the Bananaball reveal show, including ESPN+, Disney+ and YouTube.
