PITTSBURGH -- The Savannah Bananas announced plans to return to Pittsburgh in 2027. Following two sold-out games in August 2025, the Bananas will return to PNC Park on Aug. 6-7, 2027 for two games against the Indianapolis Clowns.

Known for their dynamic fan-centric style of baseball, the Bananas will once again bring their one-of-a-kind spectacle to PNC Park for locals and visitors alike. The event is expected to attract thousands of regional fans, boosting visitation and visibility for the city.

"We are excited to host another round of Banana Ball in Pittsburgh," Visit Pittsburgh Sports Events' V-P Jim Britt said.

Fans are encouraged to enter the ticket lottery, which will remain open until 11:59 p.m. ET on Oct. 31. In February, a random drawing will determine who may purchase available tickets for the August game dates. Selected entrants will receive purchase instructions directly.
