Banana Ball is no longer just an American sensation—it’s a worldwide movement. The Savannah Bananas announced that over 150 cities from more than 40 states have officially submitted bids to host games during the highly anticipated 2026 Banana Ball World Tour. Even more surprising, multiple international cities have thrown their hats into the ring, hoping to bring the team’s signature mix of baseball, entertainment, and pure joy to global audiences.
From coast to coast, the demand reflects the Bananas’ meteoric rise from a quirky regional team in Savannah, Georgia, to a cultural phenomenon with a fanbase spanning continents. Cities both large and small are clamoring for a chance to be part of the action, with stadiums offering to transform themselves into temporary homes for the wildest show in sports.
The excitement doesn’t end there. With two new Banana Ball teams set to be introduced for the 2026 season, more than 50 cities have formally expressed interest in becoming the permanent homes of these expansion clubs. It’s a battle that promises to be as entertaining as the games themselves, as mayors, community leaders, and fans campaign passionately to bring Banana Ball to their hometowns.
Now, the Bananas are turning to their supporters to help make the decision. “We’ve always been about the fans,” team owner Jesse Cole said. “This is their game as much as ours, and we want them to have a say in where we take Banana Ball next.”
With the final choices still to be made, one thing is certain: 2026 will mark the biggest and boldest chapter yet in Banana Ball history. Wherever the Bananas land, the world can expect more fun, more spectacle, and a reimagining of baseball like never before.
