The Savannah Bananas in Syracuse: what the 2026 stop looks like
Syracuse, New York is one of the cities on the 2026 Banana Ball tour, and the stop here comes to 2 games spread across September 11 through September 12. Everything happens at NBT Bank Stadium. A quick note on names: fans search for "Savannah Bananas Syracuse" because the Bananas are the team everyone knows, but the Banana Ball tour is now a six-team league and the Syracuse games feature Texas Tailgaters and The Firefighters. The show — the dancing, the trick plays, the two-hour clock — is the same wherever the tour lands.
None of the Syracuse games have been played yet, so this page is in preview mode. The first is Friday, September 11, 2026 at 7:00 PM EDT and the last is Saturday, September 12, 2026, with first-pitch times shown in Eastern time. Once the games are final the results section above fills in with points, runs and a short recap of each one, and the "who won" answer in the FAQ updates automatically. If you have a ticket, the single most useful thing to know about a Banana Ball game is that it is timed: no new inning starts after one hour and fifty minutes, so the evening runs a predictable length.See the full schedule.
How to get Banana Ball tickets in Syracuse
Banana Ball does not sell tickets on a first-come, first-served basis. Every tour stop, Syracuse 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 Syracuse 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 Syracuse
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 Syracuse game from home.
