The Netball Super Cup is a new-look tournament which sees all eight teams in action before the 2025 League gets underway. Blending fierce rivalries and top-notch netball talent, this is not an event to be missed. 

Unlike the Season Opener previously held, the Netball Super Cup will give the brand new 2025 squads the chance to play against multiple teams in one day with an innovative and exciting format. 

Fans will also be able to see the League’s two new Clubs, Birmingham Panthers and Nottingham Forest Netball, in action for the very first time, in addition to the six returning Clubs and their new-look squads for 2025 which include a host of returning and new players to the NSL. 

In addition to top-level netball competition, fantastic in-venue entertainment and concourse activations will offer a world-class experience for fans, groups and families. 

The Netball Super Cup will be a standalone event ahead of the regular rounds, with all eight teams preparing to compete for the first honours of the season and giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come. The regular season then gets under way the following weekend with round one, where the first NSL points of the season are up for grabs. 

How will the competition be formatted?  

The competition offers a jam-packed day of netball with 15 matches. The eight teams will be split into two pools for the group stages and each team will play three shorter-length seven-a-side games in their pool stage.  

Following the group stages, the top two teams from each group will progress to the semi-finals with two teams then progressing to the final where the first ever Netball Super Cup champions will be crowned. 

Who will be in each pool? 

The following teams will be competing; Birmingham Panthers, Lexisnexsis Cardiff Dragons, NIC Leeds Rhinos Netball, Loughborough Lightning, Nottingham Forest Netball, London Mavericks, London Pulse, Manchester Thunder.

The inaugural Netball Super Cup will be held Utilita Arena Sheffield on Saturday, 08 March 2025, first centre pass at 12.30pm.
