The Banana Bowl will stream live on Disney+ this October and will feature the top six teams in the Banana Ball league, including the Savannah Bananas, whose lineup includes Broadway's Derek Klena. This follows Savannah Bananas Day at Disneyland Resort, which took place in March. ESPN has also partnered with the Savannah Bananas for an exclusive 25-game package across ESPN and Disney+ to watch at home.

It was also recently announced that second baseman Jackson Olson will join Season 35 of “Dancing with the Stars” as a celebrity contestant.
The Savannah Bananas are a song-and-dance sports team that plays "Banana Ball", a fast and entertaining take on the game of baseball. The players perform choreographed dances every game, including songs from Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey, and more. Take a look at recent performances, including those featuring Tony-winner Ben Platt, Aladdin's Michael James Scott, and Broadway’s MJ, Matte Martinez.
