Netball NZ's free-to-air contracts are "significant" for the sport

Netball fans will have easy access to games as Netball New Zealand confirms a partnership with TVNZ. 

The 12-month contract secures free-to-air coverage of next year’s ANZ Premiership Saturday matches. 

The sport will also be broadcast on Sky next year, as the existing broadcasting partnership is extended by a year. 

Netball NZ CEO Jennie Wyllie told Andrew Dickens that ideally they’d want longer contracts and more certainty, but what was really important was getting clarity for coaches and players for 2025.  

They only had one game a week free-to-air in 2024 and are getting great numbers, she said, and being able to continue and expand on that is going to be significant.
