Sold Out Event from Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia to Air Live Across the Country on The CW

BURBANK, CA (June 3, 2025) - The CW Network today announced the worldwide sensation Savannah Bananas will make their broadcast television debut on Sunday, July 27 (3:00-5:30pm ET), as they bring their unique brand of "Banana Ball" to Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 40,000 fans.

"The Savannah Bananas have taken the sports world by storm through their high-energy blend of baseball and entertainment that connects with viewers of all ages," said Mike Perman, Senior Vice President, CW Sports. "We are thrilled to partner with them for their broadcast television debut, and we cannot wait to bring our audience every unpredictable play in front of what promises to be an electric atmosphere in Philadelphia."

"Banana Ball on The CW is a no-brainer," said Jesse Cole, founder and CEO of the Savannah Bananas. "After seeing their recent commitment to sports, we knew this could be a great partnership. With the speed and entertainment of Banana Ball, we look forward to creating new fans together in the years to come."

The Savannah Bananas have earned worldwide fame with their one-of-a-kind brand of "Banana Ball" - the fastest and most entertaining game of baseball. Known for their choreographed dances, epic scoring celebrations, flaming bats, and an array of other antics, the team has sold out every game at their home field, historic Grayson Stadium in Savannah, Georgia, since their 2016 inaugural season. The team currently boasts over 9.8 million followers on TikTok, outnumbering every franchise in Major League Baseball (as well as every team in the NFL, NBA, and NHL). The Bananas have been featured on ESPN, CNN, and CBS News, and in Sports Illustrated.

The Savannah Bananas join The CW's growing roster of live sports programming, including the full NASCAR Xfinity Series, WWE NXT every Tuesday night, Grand Slam Track, AVP beach volleyball on Saturdays this summer, ACC and Pac-12 football games this fall, and PBA professional bowling beginning in 2026.
