Savannah Bananas coming to ESPN channels and streamers

Banana Ball is making baseball fun again and ESPN and Disney will help you experience it all summer long.

The Savannah Bananas will play a series of 10 games on ESPN platforms this spring and summer.

The Savannah Bananas are making baseball fun again! The team has been likened to the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball more than once, and now they’re bringing their antics to the biggest platform yet. On Monday, it was announced that the Bananas will play a series of games on the ESPN and ESPN2 cable channels with simulcasts being available on the ESPN+ and Disney+ streaming services.

Key Details:

  • ➤ Go Bananas!: The Bananas will play a total of 10 games on ESPN channels and services.
  • ➤ Linear or streaming: All Bananas games will be shown on Disney+ and ESPN+ as well as linear ESPN.
  • ➤ Big crowds: Games will be played in either football or MLB stadiums.

The Bananas will play a total of 10 games on ESPN and ESPN2 over the course of the summer. Games will begin on April 26, and will continue through Aug. 15, and the team will tour the United States with its unique Banana Ball style.

All of the games will be played on a linear TV channel, and will also be available to stream on both Disney+ and ESPN+, to maximize the potential audience of each game. The Bananas will face the Party Animals, the Firefighters, or the Texas Tailgaters in the contests. The schedule of games is as follows:

Date Time (ET) Platforms Location
Saturday, Apr. 26 7 p.m. ESPN2, Disney+, ESPN+ Memorial Stadium (Clemson)
Saturday, May 10 8 p.m. ESPN2, Disney+, ESPN+ Nissan Stadium (Tennessee)
Saturday, June 7 7 p.m. ESPN2, Disney+, ESPN+ Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte)
Saturday, June 28 7 p.m. ESPN2, Disney+, ESPN+ Nationals Park (Washington, DC)
Saturday, July 5 7 p.m. ESPN, Disney+, ESPN+ Fenway Park (Boston)

Each game will be played in a college football or NFL stadium, or an MLB park. As the schedule shows, the game at Fenway Park and the first contest at Camden Yards will both be played in primetime on ESPN.

“Our relationship with ESPN has been outstanding for the Savannah Bananas and for the sport of Banana Ball,” founder and CEO of the Savannah Bananas Jesse Cole said. “As the ‘Greatest Show in Sports’ makes its way to sold out MLB, College Football and NFL Stadiums, ESPN is the perfect place to showcase the electricity of the game as we near the launch of the Banana Ball Championship League in 2026.”

The goofball antics of the Savannah Bananas have invoked laughter from coast to coast in the United States, and now they’ll bring that fun to ESPN and Disney-owned streaming platforms.
