The Savannah Bananas in Albuquerque: what the 2026 stop looks like
Albuquerque, New Mexico is one of the cities on the 2026 Banana Ball tour, and the stop here comes to 2 games spread across April 11 through April 12. Everything happens at Rio Grande Credit Union Field. A quick note on names: fans search for "Savannah Bananas Albuquerque" because the Bananas are the team everyone knows, but the Banana Ball tour is now a six-team league and the Albuquerque games feature Party Animals and The Firefighters. The show — the dancing, the trick plays, the two-hour clock — is the same wherever the tour lands.
The 2026 Albuquerque stop is finished. The last game here was Sunday, April 12, 2026, and the final scores from all 2 games are above with a short recap of each. Banana Ball games are scored by points rather than runs — win an inning and you earn a point — so the recaps list both figures. The league has not announced a 2027 schedule, so we cannot say whether Albuquerque is on next year's tour; when cities are announced the first place to look is bananaball.com, and this page will update. In the meantime the rest of the 2026 tour continues in other cities, and every remaining date is on the schedule page.See the full schedule.
How to get Banana Ball tickets in Albuquerque
Banana Ball does not sell tickets on a first-come, first-served basis. Every tour stop, Albuquerque included, uses a ticket lottery run by the league at bananaball.com/tickets. You create a free account, enter the lottery for the city you want, and wait for the drawing; the league emails winners with a purchase window to buy face-value tickets. Entering earlier does not improve your odds, and you can only buy in the window you are given. Because demand outstrips supply in nearly every market, most fans who get in do so through the lottery or through the official resale exchange the league runs after the drawing. We are an unofficial fan site and do not sell tickets; anything offered for Albuquerque outside the official channels is third-party resale. Our tickets guide walks through the lottery step by step.
How to watch if you can't be in Albuquerque
Missed the lottery? Most Banana Ball games stream live, typically on the Banana Ball YouTube channel and on select broadcast partners, and the streaming label on each upcoming game above tells you where that particular game airs. Our where to watch guide lists the platforms for every team, and the Banana Ball Reminder app sends a notification before first pitch so you never miss a Albuquerque game from home.
About the venue
Rio Grande Credit Union Field hosts the 2026 Banana Ball games in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Banana Ball brings its own pregame show, and the evening typically starts well before first pitch with player walk-ups and the dance routines fans know from the tour, so plan to arrive when gates open. Parking, bag rules and concessions are set by the ballpark rather than the league, so check the venue's own site before you go.
