Banana Ball

Banana Ball’s 2026 World Tour will make its first ever stop to Lexington for a series of games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, September 11^th, 12^th & 13th. As part of its “City Selection Show” telecast earlier this evening, the Bananas unveiled their upcoming stops as well as their newest two teams, the Indianapolis Clowns and Loco Beach Coconuts. Indianapolis Clowns and Loco Beach Coconuts will play in the Bluegrass this fall. 

“Temerity Baseball looks forward to partnering with the Bananas in Lexington in 2026. Our fans in Kannapolis and Greensboro greatly enjoyed the Banana Ball experience and we know our Legends fans will as well,” said Legends Owner and Temerity Baseball Founder and Chairman Andy Sandler. The Bananas played in Kannapolis, N.C., in 2023 and the Party Animals played in Greensboro, N.C. in 2024.

“We’ve spent the last two seasons delivering Legends fans better and better entertainment, and I cannot wait for our season ticket holders and Lexingtonians to see just how fun Banana Ball – and baseball – can be. We appreciate the support from both Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton and VisitLex’s Mary Quinn Ramer in strengthening our bid to be a stop on this World Tour,” said Legends General Manager Justin Ferrarella. Hundreds of professional baseball teams competed to host one of the Banana Ball teams in 2026.
