The 2027 Banana Ball rosters are mostly set. All six teams in the Banana Ball Championship League (BBCL) have announced their Coach Franchise selections, with the Savannah Bananas finishing things off Monday night.

Each coach had up to 17 Coach Franchise picks, on top of the player fans voted to franchise. Four teams used all 17\. The Indianapolis Clowns and Loco Beach Coconuts left picks unused, which gives them extra selections in the supplemental round of the Player Draft.
