Tulsa, OK – Banana Ball will visit ONEOK Field for the second straight season in 2027! The global phenomenon, made famous by the Savannah Bananas, will return to Tulsa for two games on July 23 and 24.
As revealed Thursday night during the 2027 Banana Ball City Selection Show, which aired on ESPN2, Tulsa has been selected as a tour stop for the Banana Ball Championship League (BBCL). ONEOK Field will host official league games featuring the return of the 2026 BBCL Champions, the Texas Tailgaters, facing off against the Loco Beach Coconuts.
The announcement comes nearly a week after the Tailgaters earned a 2-1 victory over the Bananas in the first ever Banana Bowl to claim the inaugural 2026 BBCL Championship!
This past May, the Tailgaters played a three-game series against the Indianapolis Clowns in downtown Tulsa in front of three capacity crowds at ONEOK Field.
For the two games at ONEOK Field in 2027, fans must enter the ticket lottery at bananaball.com/tickets by October 31, 2026, for a chance to purchase tickets. Tickets will go on sale in February 2027 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.
Banana Ball has taken the sports world by storm, drawing millions of fans with its non-stop action, viral moments and unique rules – including a two-hour time limit, no bunting and fans catching foul balls for outs.
The 2027 BBCL season will feature six teams playing 60 games across the country, all leading to a can’t-miss championship series in October. With dancing players, surprise guests and one-of-a-kind, in-game antics, Banana Ball delivers an entertainment experience unlike anything else in sports.
