The Banana Ball Open is coming to ESPN Wide World of Sports at Walt Disney World in April 2027

Slip on those dancing shoes, grab your glove, and get ready to suit up in your most a-peeling attire – Banana Ball is coming back to Walt Disney World in 2027!


From April 15-18, Banana Ball is coming to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Disney World for the second straight year, putting fans first and directly into the center of the action with plenty of laughs, excitement, and an undeniable energy that will have you dancing in your seats all night long.



Last year, Banana Ball traveled across the country for a ton of thrilling matchups, with high-profile games between the Savannah Bananas, the Firefighters, the Party Animals, the Loco Beach Coconuts, the Indianapolis Clowns, and the Texas Tailgaters.


Visiting a wide range of legendary venues like Yankee Stadium in New York City, Wrigley Field in Chicago, and Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Banana Ball has continued to visit iconic ballparks and prime destinations perfectly fit for friends and families, bringing the show to a new lineup of eager fans and even to Walt Disney World, culminating in last year’s battle between the Party Animals and the Loco Beach Coconuts.


Next season, Walt Disney World will welcome all six teams to attend and four teams to compete in the Banana Ball Open at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.


If you are a fan of Disney Parks and Banana Ball, you are in the perfect spot to turn a double play with two cornerstones of entertainment and fun. Hosted at the 260+ acre ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World, the top four teams in the league will face off inside The Stadium, featuring more than 9,500 seats, four luxury sky boxes, open-air suites, and a whole bunch of happy hijinks on the diamond.



For fans itching to see trick plays, diving catches, and plenty of on-the-field shenanigans, act fast for a chance to secure your seats for next season’s games by entering the Ticket Lottery List before it closes at 11:50 p.m. EST on Halloween night, October 31.


Joining this list does not guarantee the opportunity to buy tickets, but it will enter you into a random drawing that takes place before the event for the chance to purchase available tickets. If your name is drawn, you will be communicated with directly to learn more about your next steps.



Don’t get caught in a pickle (and don’t even think about bunting) and miss out on this opportunity to join the Ticket Lottery. Visit BananaBall.com now, as standard tickets start at $35 when you purchase them from the site. Meet and Greet tickets start at $100 each, with no hidden fees and no tax.

Constantly keeping fans and players on their toes, Banana Ball is quickly becoming one of the most entertaining games in sports, featuring high-octane plays and entertainment-packed rules that are sure to put a smile on your face.


Whether a fan catches a foul ball (it counts as an out in the game) or a player tries to steal first base (yes, you read that correctly), this curveball on traditional baseball has continued to grow across the nation at home and in ballparks!




If you want even more fast-paced Banana Ball content, be sure to tune into their games next season for free on the team YouTube channels.
