Banana Ball is coming back to Walt Disney World Resort in 2027, bringing four days of baseball, entertainment and fan activities to Central Florida.
The Walt Disney Company announced Thursday that the Banana Ball Open will take place April 15-18 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando.
The event will feature all six Banana Ball teams, with four squads competing head-to-head during the four-day experience.
Fans hoping to attend can enter the ticket lottery through Oct. 31 at BananaBall.com.
The event marks the second time Banana Ball has brought its entertainment-focused brand of baseball to Walt Disney World.
Earlier in 2026, the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex hosted two games that drew packed crowds and featured the sport’s signature mix of competition, comedy and audience participation.
The baseball phenomenon is also headed to streaming, with a new music-driven documentary scheduled to premiere on Disney+ and Hulu in fall 2027.
The film will follow Banana Ball’s 10-year journey, from its beginnings in Savannah, Georgia, to its rise as a national sports and entertainment attraction.
According to the announcement, the documentary will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the people, personalities and community that helped build the sport.
