Banana Ball is coming to SC in 2026! Here’s where and how to get tickets
The Banana Ball Championship League has officially unveiled its 2026 tour schedule, with entertainment and baseball action set to visit four cities across the Palmetto State.
Stretching across 33 cities in 20 states, the tour will also introduce two new teams to the league.
Known for their popular exhibition team, the Savannah Bananas, based in Savannah, Georgia, the league has expanded into four baseball teams: the Bananas, Party Animals, Texas Tailgaters and Firefighters.
This week, the league announced two new teams: the Loco Beach Coconuts and the Indianapolis Clowns. All six teams will compete in the Banana Ball Championship League for its inaugural season in 2026.
Players are known for their unique spin on the game, ranging from backflips on the field, dance routines and fan participation.
While the Savannah Bananas themselves won’t be stopping in South Carolina during the 2026 season, fans in the state won’t miss out. The Party Animals, Firefighters, Texas Tailgaters and both new teams are all slated to appear in games across Conway, Charleston, Greenville, and Spartanburg.

Who are the Savannah Bananas?
Starting as a 2016 college summer baseball team, the Savannah Bananas have grown into a worldwide phenomenon.
Created by Jesse Cole, known as “the man in the yellow tux,” the Bananas play a sport called Banana Ball, which has a handful of rules that make it different from traditional baseball.
Players are also entertainers, dancing on the field during games, catching fly balls while doing backflips and even pitching while on stilts.
