Fresno fans hoping to go bananas again will have to hit the road in 2027.

The Savannah Bananas released their 2027 Banana Ball World Tour schedule Thursday, and Fresno’s Chukchansi Park did not make the cut.

The team previously visited Fresno in July 2023, drawing a sold-out crowd of more than 12,000 fans, before returning for three games, playing for 31,000 fans, in May 2024.

However, Central Valley fans still have several opportunities to experience Banana Ball, including games in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Anaheim, and San Diego.

The Bananas have become a national sensation for their unconventional version of baseball, which features dancing players, trick plays, unusual rules, and audience participation.

Where Can Fresno Fans See the Savannah Bananas?

The closest scheduled California appearances for the Savannah Bananas and other Banana Ball teams include San Francisco, Los Angeles, Anaheim, and San Diego.

Oracle Park in San Francisco will host the Party Animals and Indianapolis Clowns on July 30-31, although the Savannah Bananas themselves will not play at the event.

Fans hoping to see the Savannah Bananas can catch them at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on April 23-24, when they face the Firefighters, or at Angel Stadium in Anaheim on July 2-3 against the same team.

The Bananas will also travel to Petco Park in San Diego on April 3-4 to face the Loco Beach Coconuts.

San Francisco is the closest California destination for Fresno fans seeking the Banana Ball experience. However, those specifically wanting to see the Savannah Bananas will need to travel to Southern California.

Fans willing to travel outside California have additional options.

Las Vegas Ballpark will host the Party Animals and Firefighters from March 18-20, while Greater Nevada Field in Reno will feature the Party Animals and Indianapolis Clowns on June 10-11.

The Savannah Bananas also will play the Party Animals at Chase Field in Phoenix on May 14-15.

How to Get Tickets

Tickets for the 2027 Banana Ball World Tour will be distributed through a lottery system.

Fans must register at BananaBall.com by Oct. 31, 2026, at 8:59 p.m. Pacific time.

Participants can select one city for their lottery entry. Those chosen in a random drawing will receive an opportunity to purchase tickets, although registration does not guarantee availability.

Standard tickets for games at Major League Baseball stadiums start at $35.

The 2027 tour will feature six Banana Ball teams playing at 79 stadiums across 74 cities, including the league’s first international stops in Mexico and Canada.

Although Fresno is missing from next year’s lineup, California fans will still have multiple chances to see the dancing, trick plays, and baseball antics that have made Banana Ball a national attraction.
