For the first time in history, Banana Ball—the high-energy, rule-breaking twist on baseball—is making its way to Walt Disney World! On May 29 and 30, 2026, the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex will host this electrifying event, bringing "The Greatest Show in Sports" to Disney’s iconic grounds. The big reveal happened live during the Banana Ball City Selection Show, broadcasted across ESPN2, ESPN+, Disney+, and the Banana Ball YouTube channel.
The action will unfold inside The Stadium at ESPN Wide World of Sports, a massive 220-acre venue boasting over 9,500 seats, four luxury skyboxes, and open-air suites. Fans can look forward to an unforgettable showdown between the Loco Beach Coconuts and the Party Animals, two of the most entertaining teams in the Banana Ball Championship League.
How to Secure Your Spot at This Must-See Event
Want to be part of the excitement? Here’s the catch—tickets won’t be available to just anyone. To even have a chance, you’ll need to join the Banana Ball Ticket Lottery List at BananaBall.com (https://bananaball.com/) by November 1, 2025. This enters you into a random drawing for the opportunity to purchase tickets when they go on sale. Standard tickets start at $35, but remember, joining the list doesn’t guarantee access—it’s your only shot at snagging seats for this high-demand spectacle.
What Exactly is Banana Ball, and Why Is It Taking the Sports World by Storm?
Banana Ball isn’t your typical baseball game—it’s a full-blown revolution. The pace is lightning-fast, the rules are anything but traditional, and the entertainment never stops. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Foul balls caught by fans? That’s an out! (Yes, you read that right.)
- Players can steal first base—something you’ll never see in MLB.
- Bunting is banned. No exceptions.
- A strict two-hour time limit ensures nonstop action.
But here’s where it gets even wilder: expect dance breaks, jaw-dropping trick plays, and constant fan interaction. It’s no surprise that Banana Ball has taken the nation by storm, packing stadiums like Fenway Park and Angel Stadium with fans craving something fresh and fun.
