Netflix to Release New Sports Documentary on Savannah Bananas and the Birth of Banana Ball Championship League
Netflix has officially announced the release of a brand-new sports documentary series centered on the Savannah Bananas, the wildly popular exhibition baseball team that has taken the sporting world by storm with their unique and entertaining twist on America’s pastime. The series, set to premiere ahead of their 2026 tour, is titled *Banana Ball: The Championship League* and will chronicle the team’s journey as they prepare to launch their very own professional league, the Banana Ball Championship League (BBCL).
Unlike traditional professional baseball, the BBCL will not integrate into the MLB system. Instead, it will feature the Bananas as the founding team, with potential new franchises expected to join and compete in major stadiums across the United States. This bold move marks a historic turning point for the Bananas, who have already built a massive fan base by turning baseball into a spectacle filled with energy, humor, and innovation.
Banana Ball itself follows its own set of rules designed to speed up the game and maximize fan engagement—such as two-hour time limits, no bunting, and foul balls caught by fans counting as outs. The documentary will not only highlight the development of the league but also dive into the team’s philosophy of blending athletic competition with entertainment, creating a one-of-a-kind experience for audiences of all ages.
Through behind-the-scenes access, viewers will see the challenges and triumphs of turning an exhibition act into a full-fledged professional sports league. From player preparation to stadium negotiations, *Banana Ball: The Championship League* will capture the intensity, creativity, and daring spirit of the Bananas’ new era.
Set for global release, the series aims to showcase how a small-town team from Savannah, Georgia, is reshaping the future of baseball—one banana at a time.
