🎬 ESPN + Bananas = A Winning Combo
This isn’t ESPN’s first dance with the Bananas. In 2022, the network dropped Bananaland, a five-part docuseries now streaming on ESPN+, that peeled back the curtain on the team’s meteoric rise. Since then, Banana Ball has taken center stage on ESPN8: The Ocho and carved out a growing, passionate fanbase.
Now, with games airing across Disney platforms and the upcoming Banana Ball Championship League launching in 2026, the future of fun-first baseball is brighter—and yellower—than ever.
So whether you’re in it for the epic catches, the choreographed celebrations, or just a chance to watch baseball like you’ve never seen it before, Banana Ball is must-watch TV this summer.
Catch the chaos. Feel the fun. And get ready to go bananas. 🍌
📺 First pitch: Saturday, April 26 at 7PM ET on ESPN2, Disney+, and ESPN+.
