The Savannah Bananas have announced their 2027 schedule, which includes two games at Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium on 18 and 19 June against the Indianapolis Clowns. The games mark a return visit for Banana Ball to the city, where the Bananas previously played in May 2025.

Head Coach Errick Fox leads the revived Clowns, with World Series champion Ryan Howard serving as coach alongside him.
Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, described the rebirth as 'an exciting and historically relevant tribute to the team that was at the forefront of combining baseball and entertainment'. The 2027 Banana Ball tour will also include stops in St. Louis, Wichita, Mexico and Canada. The Bananas will return to Busch Stadium in St. Louis on 10 and 11 April, and play in Springfield on 23 and 24 July.
