Playoff records

Every team starts the playoffs at 0-0. Only playoff games count here, including a Showdown that decides a split series; the regular-season record in the last column is what earned each seed. Teams level on record are ordered by trick plays, then point difference, as in the league's own table.

How the four teams got here

The 61-game regular season ended on September 27 and the final table set the field: the top four by winning percentage, with the Texas Tailgaters already guaranteed a place as Banana Ball Open champions. The first seed plays the fourth and the second plays the third, all at Historic Grayson Stadium in Savannah.

Reading the playoff standings

A Banana Ball game is decided on points, not runs: win an inning and you earn a point, and the team with more points wins the game. The series scores above count games won; the PF and PA columns count innings won and lost across a team's playoff games. When a series is split 1-1, a Showdown follows game two, and the league records it as a 1-0 game: one more game won and one more point for the winner. The full scoring rules, including how the ninth inning and the Showdown tiebreaker work, are in our scoring guide.

These numbers are separate from the regular-season table. Playoff wins and losses do not change a team's seeding record, and the standings page stays frozen at the final regular-season marks.

What comes next: the Banana Bowl

The playoffs end with a single championship game, the Banana Bowl, on Saturday, October 10, 2026 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. The Savannah Bananas and Texas Tailgaters are the two finalists, with first pitch on Saturday, October 10 at 7:00 PM ET. The result will be added to this page when the game is final.
