Banana Ball Documentary Coming Soon To Disney+ & Hulu
Disney has announced details about its upcoming coverage of the 2027 season of Banana Ball, including a brand-new documentary coming to Disney+ and Hulu late next year.
Banana Ball is bringing its zany and wildly popular brand of baseball back to Walt Disney World Resort next year, which will include the Banana Ball Open, a four-game Banana Ball experience on April 15-18, featuring all six Banana Ball teams with four squads competing head-to-head at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Disney near Orlando.
It will mark the second time the high-octane energy of Banana Ball has swept through Walt Disney World, delighting fans with its entertainment-focused version of America’s favourite pastime. Earlier this year, in front of packed crowds, the sports complex at Disney hosted two Banana Ball games that put fans first and directly in the centre of the action with plenty of laughs, excitement and an undeniable energy that often leaves the audience dancing in their seats all night long.
Tickets are on sale now from $35 each at the official Banana Ball website.
There will also be a brand new documentary coming to Disney+ and Hulu in fall 2027, which will follow Banana Ball’s 10-year journey, from its humble beginnings in Savannah, Georgia, to a phenomenon known as “The Greatest Show in Sports,” the documentary will give fans an inside look at the stories, personalities and community behind it all.
The film is directed by David Beilinson, and produced by Connor Schell’s Words + Pictures and Benj Pasek & Justin Paul’s Ampersand. The documentary features 11 original songs from EGOT songwriters Pasek & Paul, with additional songwriters Ashley Gorley, Cal Shapiro, Ben Johnson, Adam Yaron, Jake Sinclair, Brandon Bomer, Jarius Jones, and Jesse Cole.
