The Wichita Wind Surge have announced that Banana Ball, the global phenomenon made famous by the Savannah Bananas, will stop in Wichita for three games on May 7,8, and 9, 2026.
As revealed Thursday night during the 2026 Banana Ball City Selection Show, Wichita has been selected as a tour stop for the brand-new Banana Ball Championship League. Equity Bank Park will host official league games featuring the Loco Beach Coconuts and the Firefighters.
What is Banana Ball? For those who don't know, Banana Ball is baseball with a set of unique rules meant to speed up the action, like a two-hour time limit, no bunting, and fans catching foul balls for outs. There is also a focus on entertaining fans as well, with players dancing and other mini-games and wild antics.
Banana Ball has been selling out wherever it is being played across the U.S. Fans must enter the ticket lottery at bananaball.com/tickets by October 31, 2025, for a chance to purchase tickets. Tickets will go on sale approximately two months prior to the scheduled event dates for those selected in the ticket lottery. Individual ticket sales for the games are being handled exclusively by Fans First Entertainment, the company that manages the Savannah Bananas and BBCL member teams. Standard tickets start at $35.
