The Savannah Bananas are coming back to Atlanta. The viral baseball sensation will play two games at Truist Park on June 10 and June 11, 2027, facing off against the Loco Beach Coconuts, with tickets starting at $35.
According to USA Today, the Bananas will play two games, one on June 10 and another on June 11, inside the Braves' home ballpark, taking on the Loco Beach Coconuts, another team in the Banana Ball league. The visit wraps with a bang: a world-premiere screening of a Disney-produced documentary chronicling the Bananas' rise will be held at Truist Park on June 12, 2027, per the same report. That documentary, covering the team's ten-year journey, is slated for release on Disney+ and Hulu in fall 2027, though USA Today notes that timeline carries only medium confidence.
FOX 5 Atlanta, which first reported the Bananas' announcement that they will return to Truist Park for two games in June 2027, also featured a live interview with Kyle Luigs, a Georgia native and former University of North Georgia player now in his tenth year with the Savannah Bananas. The team is bringing its show back to Atlanta as part of a much larger 2027 Banana Ball World Tour.
A Decade From College League to Global Phenomenon
The Savannah Bananas began in Savannah, Georgia, in 2016 as a member of the Coastal Plains League, a summer collegiate baseball circuit, according to WSB-TV. They didn't play their first game under the now-famous Banana Ball rules — known for trick plays, dancing and other unconventional twists — until 2020, as reported by 11Alive. The format has since exploded in popularity, leading to the formation of the six-team Banana Ball Championship League in 2024, 11Alive's report adds.
This won't be Atlanta's first taste of the spectacle. The Bananas played a three-game series against their on-field rivals, the Party Animals, at Truist Park across a Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, with every game selling out, WSB-TV reported. The 680 the Fan also notes the team drew three sellout crowds at Truist Park in May 2026. Both of those prior Atlanta runs used a lottery system to determine who could even attempt to buy tickets, a structure the Bananas are repeating for 2027.
Lottery Closes Soon, Tour Goes International
Fans hoping to land seats for the June 2027 games need to act fast. The team's website states that joining the list doesn't guarantee the opportunity to buy tickets, and that a random drawing will take place before the event for the chance to purchase available tickets, according to the Savannah Bananas' official site. That lottery list closes October 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET — just days from now.

The Atlanta stop is just one piece of a sprawling 2027 schedule. For the first time, the Banana Ball league will play games in Mexico and Canada next season, with international stops in Monterrey, Tijuana, Toronto and Winnipeg, according to Savannah Morning News. The outlet reports the tour is expected to draw 4.3 million fans across the Bananas' six teams, with stops including a record 23 MLB stadiums and 10 football stadiums.
Exact totals for the full 2027 slate vary depending on the source. Savannah Morning News puts next year's Banana Ball World Tour at 204 shows, up from 192 games in 2026, while the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports a total of 195 games, including 30 in Savannah. City and stadium counts differ too — the Los Angeles Times cites 79 stadiums across 74 cities, while Baseball America puts the figure at 79 stadiums in 75 cities. Whichever count proves accurate, the expansion marks the biggest season yet for the team that started as a small-town college league club just a decade ago.
