The over-the-top exhibition baseball team returns after selling out two back-to-back games at Rate Field earlier this year.

The Savannah Bananas, a theatrical exhibition baseball team taking the world by storm, are swinging through Chicago next year alongside their Banana Ball Championship League brethren. After selling out two back-to-back games at Comiskey—or, if we must, Rate Field—the purveyors of “Banana Ball” are returning in 2026 for a three-night residency at Wrigley Field.
Unfamiliar with the Savannah Bananas’ quirky twist on America’s pastime? The Georgia-based team pioneered “Banana Ball,” a high-energy twist on traditional baseball involving batters on stilts, choreographed dances, twerking umpires and much more—think Harlem Globetrotters-level antics unfolding in a baseball diamond. Since the sport’s debut in 2020, it has grown into a full-fledged league with a 60-game schedule sliding through MLB ballparks across the country.
Read on to learn more about the Savannah Bananas’ upcoming Chicago games, how to get tickets and more.
The exhibition baseball team will be playing at Wrigley Field July 24–26, 2026, as part of a national tour. Check out the team’s full schedule here.
