Savannah Bananas reveal 2026 schedule: Details

WATCH: How the Savannah Bananas baseball team went viral

The Savannah Bananas, the adventurous, yellow-clad exhibition baseball team, revealed their 2026 schedule Thursday night.

To kick off the season, the Savannah Bananas are taking over Florida State University, with all six Banana Ball teams playing across two stadiums -- Dick Howser and Doak Campbell -- over three days in February.

The 2026 season will also see Banana Ball teams play at iconic stadiums across the country, including Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, and Yankee Stadium, home of the New York Yankees.

In addition to unveiling the upcoming schedule and locations for the Savannah, Georgia-based team's 2026 season, two additional touring teams were also announced: the Loco Beach Coconuts and the Indianapolis Clowns.

The "2026 Banana Ball City Selection Show" aired at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2, Disney+, ESPN+ and the Banana Ball YouTube channel.

The ticket lottery for the 2026 season opened Thursday night and will remain open through Oct. 31, according to the organization's website.

In 2025, the Savannah Bananas packed some of the most iconic stadiums across the nation, competing against their partner touring teams, the Party Animals, Firefighters and Texas Tailgaters.

In an infographic posted on social media Wednesday, the team noted that the "Ticket Lottery List will go live immediately after the Selection Show ends," adding the "joining the Lottery List is the only way to get tickets!"

The graphic noted the list will close Oct. 31.

The Savannah Bananas started playing and entertaining baseball fans with their own set of rules in 2016.

Those unique exhibition rules include allowing players, coaches, and umpires to break out into elaborate dance routines and other circus-like antics in the middle of the game.

Videos of the lighthearted moments have gone viral across social media.

"As a fan who played ball my whole life, I was bored by moments in the game," Savannah Bananas founder Jesse Cole, told ABC News in a 2023 interview. "I said, 'How do we make it nonstop entertainment, nonstop fun that fans literally can't look away?' You have to watch what's happening. And so it's just nonstop entertainment, and that's what makes it a lot of fun."
