Games from the 2026 Banana Ball World Tour will stream on the Roku Sports Channel.

The games shown will be Savannah Bananas vs. Party Animals from Yankee Stadium on April 26, Savannah Bananas vs. The Firefighters from Kinnick Stadium on July 4, Loco Beach Coconuts vs. Savannah Bananas from Target Field on August 9, Party Animals vs. The Firefighters from Comerica Park on September 18, and Texas Tailgaters vs. Savannah Bananas from Globe Life Field on September 25.

Broadway actor Derek Klena recently joined the Savannah Bananas, the flagship team of the burgeoning Banana Ball exhibition baseball league.

Founded in 2023, Banana Ball is America’s pastime with extravagant walkups and group dance numbers (think the Harlem Globetrotters, but baseball). It’s a sport tailor-made for TikTok, and it has rapidly amassed millions of fans through its viral online videos. While the Bananas are the OG franchise, the league has rapidly expanded to six teams.

Roku Sports Channel is available for free through the Roku Channel, no subscription required.

In addition to broadcasting the games, Roku will bring audiences interactive platform experiences centered around the Savannah Bananas, which now includes Tony nominee Derek Klena on the team.
