Banana Ball is a fast-paced, entertainment-focused version of baseball pioneered by the Savannah Bananas. The game differs from baseball with fresh new rules, like 2-hour time limits, choreographed dances, and fan interaction.

The baseball twist is growing in popularity, surging past millions of viewers. But now, this final Banana Ball event of the season, coming to Disney+, will change everything!
Banana Ball’s 60-game season will end in a championship game, the Banana Bowl. The event will bring together teams from the Banana Ball league, including the Savannah Bananas, the Party Animals, and more. But this season’s grand finale will be infused with pixie dust – it will air exclusively on Disney+!

“For our first season of the Banana Bowl league, we wanted to make the championship larger than life, and that’s what we’re doing,” Savannah Bananas owner Jesse Cole said on Instagram. “We needed a partner that could showcase this game to millions of fans, and that’s what we’re doing. We’re proud to partner with Disney and Disney+, and now we’re going to share this game all over the world to millions of fans.”

The game will not only air on Disney+, but additionally on Disney’s YouTube for free to fans without Disney+, ensuring everyone can watch it. “Don’t worry, we’re going to keep our fans-first promise,” Cole continued. “The game will be on Disney’s YouTube as well, so everyone everywhere can see it.”

So stay tuned because we’re just getting started!”
