HBO Max and truTV Will Air 19 Savannah Bananas Games Through TNT Sports Deal
TNT Sports has struck a deal with the widely popular Savannah Bananas. Starting Aug. 16, truTV and HBO Max will air 19 games from the team.
Coverage of the league will come from TNT Sports. Over eight consecutive weekends, the brand will visit MLB stadiums across U.S., including Rate Field in Chicago, Yankee Stadium in The Bronx, T-Mobile Park in Seattle, PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Petco Park in San Diego and Daikin Park in Houston, as part of its coverage. There will also be a weekend series from Grayson Stadium in Georgia, the home stadium for the Bananas. All of TNT Sports’ coverage of Banana Ball will be simulcast on HBO Max for U.S. subscribers.
It will all culminate in the first-ever Banana Ball Championship, which will air on Oct. 11. That multi-day tournament will feature all four teams fighting for the Banana Ball title. Seeding for the tournament will be determined by results from the World Tour games.
