The playoffs are coming to Banana Ball

The Savannah Bananas announced this morning that the inaugural Banana Ball Championship will be held at Grayson Stadium in Savannah from October 2-11, 2025. The event will crown a champion from the four teams that have toured this year for the top banana in Banana Ball.

The four teams include the top-seeded Bananas, the second-seeded Party Animals, the third-seeded Texas Tailgaters, and the fourth-seeded Firefighters. The Bananas will take on the Firefighters in the first semifinal game on Thursday, followed by the Party Animals and Tailgaters the next night. The same teams will face off again over the weekend, with a Showdown game taking place if the series is tied.

The championship game will be held on Sunday at 7:00 p.m. to crown the winner of the tournament, but the biggest news might take place on Thursday, October 9, during the Banana Ball City Selection Tour.

The show will take place from 6:30 to 8:00 pm and include highlights from the past season and what cities will host games next year. It will also debut two new teams that will make up the Banana Ball Championship League.

The six-team league will begin in the spring of 2026.
