On behalf of the Savannah Bananas, we look forward to an awesome 2026 season! Fans across the country are going to fall in love with their one-of-a-kind entertainment style. Founded in 2016 by Jesse Cole, the team has transformed the baseball experience, prioritizing non-stop, over-the-top fun and entertainment. Cole, who previously shared his frustration with more conventional pacing of games, wanted to foster an experience that has fans engaged all the way through.
Earlier this summer, in 2025, the Savannah Bananas owned the marquee, packing the most legendary yards all around America. In the East they eyed matchups against thrilling partner touring teams such as the Party Animals, Firefighters and Texas Tailgaters. Their fresh new take on baseball has made believers of a rabid new fan base, and the trends have skyrocketed.
This upcoming season, the Bananas will take things to even crazier heights. They’ll compete at historic locations like Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium! This growth complements their mission of bringing the best entertainment experience to baseball fans everywhere.
The 2026 season will feature six Banana Ball teams, including two newly announced touring teams: the Loco Beach Coconuts and the Indianapolis Clowns. The teams will play across two stadiums—Dick Howser and Doak Campbell—over three days in February, showcasing the Bananas’ unique brand of entertainment.
