Savannah Bananas Land Biggest Media Partnership Yet: 25-Game National Package, Disneyland Day, Angel Stadium Showcase

The savannah bananas announced a landmark 25-game media package that begins February 28, 2026, marking the organization’s largest partnership to date and bringing new national exposure, themed park events and stadium showcases to the growing Banana Ball Championship League.

Savannah Bananas: what the 25-game package includes

The agreement covers a 25-game slate that will stream across a major sports app and a major entertainment streaming service, with a selection of the games also slated for linear broadcast on national networks. The package more than doubles the prior season’s offering and creates marquee moments both on and off the field, including a dedicated “Banana Ball Day” at a major theme-park resort and a March 26 game at Angel Stadium in Anaheim tied to that celebration.

Also included is the league’s first national broadcast from a large college football stadium in the Pacific Northwest, a sold-out showcase that will feature the Bananas facing the Party Animals in front of a 54, 000-seat crowd. Additional special events listed in the schedule include a theme-park day at a Florida resort complex and a midseason visit to the organization’s media partner complex prior to a regional ballpark game.

How the expansion reflects rapid growth for Banana Ball and the league

That 25-game package arrives as Banana Ball transitions from a touring spectacle into a formal six-team league. The Banana Ball Championship League now features six teams: the Bananas, Party Animals, Firefighters, Texas Tailgaters, Loco Beach Coconuts, and Indianapolis Clowns. Two clubs added this year include the Loco Beach Coconuts, coached by former major-league player Shane Victorino, and the Indianapolis Clowns, whose identity references a historic 1940s Negro League team.

Growth metrics embedded in the organization’s recent run are striking: the operation played in 40 cities last season, including multiple NFL and Major League Baseball stadiums, drawing huge single-game crowds — a 65, 000-seat NFL stadium sellout and an 81, 000-attendance game at a major college venue were among the highlights. Those events have translated into significant commercial upside, with a valuation placed at roughly $500 million and estimated league revenue near $100 million, driven primarily by merchandising and ticket sales.

Audience interest on screens has climbed as well. Last season’s handful of national appearances averaged roughly half a million viewers per telecast, a substantial increase from earlier years and punctuated by a single-game audience that approached nine hundred thousand viewers at a historic ballpark event.

Operations, economics and what comes next for the Savannah Bananas

Investment in production and player compensation has followed the surge in demand. The organization has expanded its in-house production capabilities with a multimillion-dollar buildout of its broadcast team, and average player pay has risen markedly — moving from a prior season range to an average salary near six figures this year. These shifts reflect a pivot toward higher-quality content delivery and professionalized league economics while live events remain the principal revenue engine.

Leadership indicates further distribution growth is expected: additional media-rights partners are anticipated to be announced in the coming weeks, and the organization plans to keep broad access to its games by continuing to stream each event on its owned video channel, even as it licenses select games to larger platforms. The team has at times declined lucrative offers in order to preserve free access for fans on that channel.

For now, the new national package cements Banana Ball’s trajectory from a novelty touring act into a scalable sports-entertainment enterprise. The immediate implications are clear: expanded national reach, higher production standards, rising player compensation, and a packed calendar of stadium spectacles and theme-park celebrations that will test whether the momentum translates into sustained mainstream sports audience behavior.

Details remain subject to change as additional partners and scheduling specifics are finalized. Recent updates indicate further announcements are expected, and observers should expect the organization to use the expanded media footprint to amplify ticketing, merchandising and league-brand initiatives throughout the season.
