Banana Ball fever is sweeping the nation. In a thrilling update, organizers of the **Banana Ball Championship League (BBCL)** have confirmed that more than 150 cities across over 40 states have submitted official bids to host Banana Ball games in 2026. The overwhelming interest showcases the growing popularity of the Savannah Bananas’ fast-paced, entertainment-driven version of baseball, which has already captivated fans across the country.
According to league officials, the requests came from every corner of the United States, including major metropolitan hubs, mid-sized cities, and even small towns eager to be part of the revolution. Cities from the Northeast, South, Midwest, and West Coast have all thrown their names into the ring, highlighting Banana Ball’s truly nationwide appeal. Adding to the excitement, several international cities have also expressed interest, signaling the potential for Banana Ball to expand beyond U.S. borders.
The yet-to-be-named two new Banana Ball teams—set to join the original Savannah Bananas in 2026—have attracted more than 50 official bids from cities determined to host a franchise. League executives are currently reviewing submissions, considering factors such as community enthusiasm, stadium capacity, and local support for the high-energy, fan-first style of Banana Ball.
“This level of interest proves what we’ve always believed—Banana Ball isn’t just a game, it’s an experience,” said a league spokesperson. “Fans want to laugh, cheer, dance, and celebrate baseball in a way they’ve never seen before. 2026 is shaping up to be a historic year for the sport.”

With demand at an all-time high, fans won’t have to wait long for answers. The final host cities and team locations are expected to be announced later this year, setting the stage for the most exciting chapter yet in Banana Ball history.
