If you\u2019ve ever watched a baseball game and thought it would be an infinitely better watch if the players started doing \u201cThe Wobble\u201d mid-inning, we have great news: Banana Ball is coming to Charlotte.<\/p>\n

Banana Ball is an independent league of baseball teams playing by altered rules (shortened game time, on-field dancing, elaborate walk-ups, players on stilts and more). The league began in 2020 with two teams \u2013 the namesake Savannah Bananas and pink-clad Party Animals.<\/p>\n

After an explosion in popularity, the league has since expanded to six league teams. The Firefighters will play the Texas Tailgaters at Truist Field June 4-6 as a part of the 2026 Banana Ball World Tour and the launch of the Banana Ball Championship League. All six teams are playing a 60-game schedule culminating in the Banana Bowl Championship in October 2026.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time Banana Ball teams have played in Charlotte. The Savannah Bananas played the Party Animals<\/a> at Bank of America Stadium in June 2025. The Charlotte Observer previously reported the visit not only sold out, but generated $38.6 million in economic impact.<\/a><\/p>\n

This time, Charlotteans can watch Banana Ball at Truist Field in Uptown. The teams will play three games:<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the Charlotte Interactive Street Closures Map<\/a> shows no closures in the area June 4-6. But as locals are likely aware by now, that doesn\u2019t mean there won\u2019t be traffic.<\/p>\n

If you have only just heard about the wild world of Banana Ball, you may be out of luck. All of the Charlotte Banana Ball games are sold out, according to the Savannah Banana\u2019s website.<\/a><\/p>\n

A Charlotte Knights spokesman told the Charlotte Observer only a \u201cvery limited number of premium areas\u201d, such as luxury suites, remain available.<\/p>\n

Tickets were released via lottery. The Savannah Bananas website warns<\/a> that tickets start at $35 when purchased directly from our official site. Tickets listed on third-party ticket sales platforms like StubHub, Vivid Seats and Ticketmaster may not be real.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you see tickets priced significantly higher, they may have been originally bought from us and are now being resold on third-party platforms, or they could be completely fake listings,\u201d the website reads. \u201cAdditionally, an overwhelming majority of ticket offers on social media platforms are scams. Please use extreme caution if you choose to pursue tickets from these sources.\u201d<\/p>\n

All three games will stream on the Firefighters Youtube channel.<\/a> The Banana Bowl Championship Final will stream on Disney+<\/a>.<\/p>\n
