Netball NZ and TVNZ partner to broadcast domestic season in 2026
Netball New Zealand and TVNZ have announced a partnership that will see the domestic season shown across TVNZ 2 and TVNZ+ next year.
The 2026 season will be broadcast to audiences nationwide, building on TVNZ’s match-of-the-week offering from this year.
TVNZ’s expert commentary, in-depth analysis and exclusive courtside access will continue to be a key feature of the expanded partnership.
Bring netball closer to communities
TVNZ’s head of sports, events and partnerships Melodie Robinson says: “Netball is one of New Zealand’s most popular codes and we’re excited to have the national domestic competition with TVNZ.
“Our netballers are at the top of their game, they’re powerful wāhine toa, and we’re thrilled to be connecting tamariki with the heroes who inspire them, bringing the excitement straight into their homes each weekend.”
Jennie Wyllie, Netball New Zealand chief executive, adds: “Following a season where we’ve seen, strong broadcast numbers, fantastic match attendances and unprecedented global viewership, it’s exciting to now have the opportunity for even more New Zealanders to enjoy the game on TVNZ 2 and TVNZ+.
“Netball is played and loved by hundreds of thousands across Aotearoa, and this move will help bring the sport closer to communities nationwide.”
