Banana Ball: The can't-miss event of the summer is coming to PNC Field in 2026!
The global phenomenon, made famous by the Savannah Bananas, will stop in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for two games on May 22 and 23. PNC Field will host official league games featuring the Loco Beach Coconuts against the Firefighters.
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. With dancing players, surprise guests and one-of-a-kind in-game antics, Banana Ball delivers an entertainment experience unlike anything else in sports.

Know Before You Go
Currently, both games are on as scheduled. A fan-first experience is of the utmost priority, and we will provide updates from the Banana Ball team once guidance has been shared.
We never want to talk about the “4 letter word that starts with an R,” but sometimes it’s wise to.
“It’s raining where I am coming from – Is the game still on? – the answer is YES! Keep in mind, the ballpark is in a big and beautiful area. While it may be raining where you are coming from, there is probably sunshine and butterflies in Bananaland.
Even if it’s wet – We always closely monitor the weather, and do everything humanly (and Bananaly) possible in order to play games as they are scheduled.
9 times out of 10, we’re playing ball once the weather clears. 10 times out of 10, we STILL put on a heck of a show.
Best thing you can do is plan to be at the ballpark ready to rock, as we anticipate everything should start on time! Should things change, we will communicate via email as well as post on our social media accounts!
