TV Guide: Suncorp Super Netball season begins May 1st on Nine

The Suncorp Super Netball season returns to Nine this Saturday at 3.00pm AEST with an 2020 Grand Final rematch between the Melbourne Vixens and West Coast Fever at John Cain Arena in Melbourne. 

All the netball action will be live and free with two games each weekend on Channel 9 and 9Now.

After a Covid-safe, condensed season last year, Australia’s netball competition resumes with a full home and away season in 2021, with 17 weeks of fixtures. Brisbane will host the NSW Swifts in the first round against the Queensland Firebirds on Sunday, May 2, at 1.00pm.

Each team will host seven home games, giving fans across the country the opportunity to once again cheer on their favourite teams live. The season will culminate in a three-week finals series with the Grand Final held at Ken Rosewall Arena in Sydney on Sunday, August 29.

This season will see the return of the Super Shot, which gives goal attacks and goal shooters the opportunity to score two goals from a designated 1.9-metre zone within the goal circle, and the introduction of Extra Time. A match will go into five minutes of extra time after a 90-second break if teams are tied at the end of regulation match time.

Taking viewers through all the games with this year’s broadcast, Nine has a commentary lineup for all the action on and off-court, led by Liz Ellis, Cath Cox, Laura Geitz and Sue Gaudion.

Netball fans can watch two live games a week on Nine with coverage starting at 3.00pm on Saturdays and 1.00pm on Sundays on both Channel 9 and 9Now.

Suncorp Super Netball will also be broadcast this year on Telstra TV and the Netball Live app.
