The Savannah Bananas, baseball’s most unconventional and electrifying team, have taken their show on the road before—but now they’re aiming higher than ever. Team owner Jesse Cole has officially announced that the Bananas will launch their first-ever **World Tour in 2026**, marking a historic leap from their wildly successful U.S. barnstorming runs to a truly global stage.
The roster for the international spectacle has been carefully assembled, blending veteran Bananas showmen with fresh faces ready to embrace the team’s brand of fast-paced “Banana Ball,” outrageous skits, and crowd-immersive antics. Fans can expect to see familiar favorites like pitcher “Dancing” Bill LeRoy, known for his choreographed windups, and outfielder Zack “Trickshot” Phillips, who has become a viral sensation with behind-the-back catches. Joining them are a wave of young recruits handpicked not just for baseball skills but also for charisma, creativity, and willingness to flip the traditional script of America’s pastime.
The 2026 tour will span at least **12 countries across four continents**, with early stops already confirmed in London, Tokyo, Sydney, and Mexico City. Each venue is expected to sell out as the Bananas bring their mix of competition and comedy to brand-new audiences who may never have witnessed the controlled chaos of Banana Ball.
Cole described the announcement as “the next chapter in our mission to make baseball the most fun sport in the world.” He emphasized that this roster wasn’t just built to win games but to create unforgettable experiences that transcend language and culture.
From choreographed walk-ups to mid-game dance breaks and fan participation stunts, the 2026 Savannah Bananas World Tour is shaping up to be more than just baseball—it’s a full-blown global entertainment phenomenon.
