Memphis to host Banana Ball phenomenon next March
Savannah Bananas’ New Championship League Stops at AutoZone Park for Two Games
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The wildly popular and high-energy world of “Banana Ball” is officially coming to Memphis, with AutoZone Park scheduled to host two games in early 2026, the league announced late Thursday.
The global phenomenon, made famous by the Savannah Bananas, will bring its unique brand of non-stop action and entertainment to the home of the Memphis Redbirds on Saturday, March 7, and Sunday, March 8, 2026.
Memphis was selected as a stop for the inaugural season of the brand-new Banana Ball Championship League (BBCL), as revealed during the 2026 Banana Ball City Selection Show, which aired on ESPN2. The two-game series at AutoZone Park will feature the Party Animals taking on one of the league’s newest expansion teams, the Indianapolis Clowns.
Banana Ball has redefined the sport with unique rules, including a two-hour time limit, no bunting, and fans catching foul balls for outs. The entertainment-first experience features dancing players, surprise guests, and in-game antics, drawing comparisons to the Harlem Globetrotters. The 2026 BBCL season will include six teams playing 60 games across the country, culminating in a championship series in October.
