Breaking: Over 150 Cities Across 40+ States Submit Official Bids to Host Banana Ball Games in 2026
Banana Ball’s explosive rise shows no signs of slowing down. In a major development, over 150 cities from more than 40 U.S. states — along with several international locations — have officially submitted interest in hosting Banana Ball games during the highly anticipated 2026 season. This overwhelming response signals a national (and global) embrace of the Savannah Bananas’ electrifying brand of baseball.
From the West Coast to the East, and from the Deep South to the Midwest, cities of all sizes have thrown their hats into the ring, vying for the opportunity to bring Banana Ball’s signature chaos, fun, and fast-paced entertainment to local fans. Cities from every region of the United States — and even from overseas — are eager to be part of the tour that has taken the baseball world by storm.
The enthusiasm comes as the Savannah Bananas prepare to expand with two brand-new Banana Ball teams set to debut in 2026. According to team sources, these two unnamed squads have already received official interest from cities and venues around the country hoping to serve as home bases or key stops on the upcoming tour schedule.
Jesse Cole, the visionary behind the Bananas, noted that the level of interest “has far exceeded expectations,” calling the wave of support “a testament to what Banana Ball has become — more than a game, it’s a movement.”
With fan demand at an all-time high and cities actively competing to host, the 2026 Banana Ball tour is shaping up to be the biggest yet. Official announcements regarding selected host cities and team names are expected in the coming months.
