Suncorp Super Netball will celebrate its tenth season in 2026 with a fixture full of firepower and an earlier season start.
Following the biggest season in Suncorp Super Netball history, the 2026 campaign will hit the courts on Saturday 14 March with a schedule crafted to conclude ahead of the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games in late July.
A 14-round home and away season will see matches played on Saturday nights and Sundays, with one Friday night fixture included. All 56 matches will be available live on Kayo Sports, Fox Sports and Binge.

Fans will get a first look at 2026 squads, with exciting new line ups and team combinations unveiled as the season begins.
The opening match will see the Melbourne Mavericks host GIANTS Netball as new Maverick Jamie-Lee Price faces her former team. The venue for this opening match will be revealed ahead of 2026.
Round 2 will light up Qudos Bank Arena with an electric double-header featuring fierce New South Wales and Victorian rivalries - fittingly, 100 years since the first recorded interstate clash between New South Wales and Victoria, also played in Sydney.
Fans can look forward to a full round of Easter weekend action, two Anzac Day matches on Saturday 25 April, and the anticipated 2025 Grand Final rematch in Round 7 between the Melbourne Vixens and West Coast Fever at John Cain Arena.
First Nations Rounds will return in 2026 across Rounds 11 and 12, coinciding with National Reconciliation Week (27 May - 3 June). All teams will host a home match across the two rounds, celebrating First Nations culture and contributions, with the season concluding prior to NAIDOC Week.
The home and away season will end on Sunday 14 June, before the Finals Series begins the following week.
Off the back of one of the biggest player movement periods yet, the 2026 season promises to be one of the most unpredictable yet. With rising stars and fresh faces across the league, this milestone tenth season is set to be a launchpad for a bold new era.
Netball Australia CEO, Stacey West, said the 2026 fixture reflects the League’s growth and commitment to fans and culture.
“The 2026 fixture reflects the continued evolution of the League,” West said.
“After the biggest season in our history, featuring a record total season attendance of 386,455 and the most-watched Grand Final in league history, we’re positioned for another landmark year.
“We are the most attended female sport in Australia, and it is a title we are proud to hold for the second year in a row.
“2026 marks a significant season as we celebrate the tenth edition of the world’s best national netball league and continue to grow the game both nationally and globally.”
