How to watch the Vitality Netball Superleague 2022 season

The season – which runs from February 5 to June 5 – sees home and away fixtures returning to the league, following on from the 2021 season which saw the league delivered from two central venues. 

This means clubs can welcome back fans to watch games back at their home venues, with tickets currently on sale to every single regular round fixture here.

First up – all 10 games from the Season Opener and Easter Weekend double-headers weekend will be live on Sky Sports and YouTube giving fans a chance to see every team and their favourite players on a bumper start to the season.

And during the regular weekly round fixtures Sky Sports will showcase three live games a week, triple the number from the last home and away season in 2020.

A dedicated Monday Night Netball slot between 5pm and 7pm will showcase a marquee match-up across the Main Event*, Mix, Action and Arena channels throughout the regular season – centre pass at 5.30pm every week.

Two further games per round will be streamed live on Sky Sports YouTube channel over the weekend, while the best action from every match of the season will be made available in three-minute highlights on the VNSL YouTube and club channels after each game. Fans will also be able to follow all the news and features on the VNSL social channels across Instagram and Twitter.

“Three out of five regular round games will be broadcast live to fans, which is more games than ever before in a traditional home and away season.” – Steve Elworthy.

Steve Elworthy, Chair of the Vitality Netball Superleague Board, said: “We are pleased to see our clubs return to their home venues to grow local fan bases and generate important commercial revenue, and are excited to see fans return to arenas to show their support and get behind their teams for the season ahead.

“We have worked in partnership with Sky Sports and all Vitality Netball Superleague clubs to offer multiple ways to watch and follow the 2022 season, be that by going to games or watching matches across Sky Sports TV and YouTube channels as we look to continue to grow our sport and take our league to new audiences.

“Three out of five regular round games will be broadcast live to fans, which is more games than ever before in a traditional home and away season. And where we do operate central venue rounds, for ‘Season Opener’ and ‘Easter Weekend’ double headers, we are delighted to once again be able to bring fans all games live across Sky Sports TV and YouTube channels.

“Last season was a unique and challenging one and our thanks must go to the 11 clubs, Sky and our partners for their efforts in completing a fantastic season. Now though the clubs and players are focused on final preparations for the season ahead and we cannot wait to see them back on court and in action in front of fans in Birmingham on February 5 and 6 when the 2022 season gets underway.”
