The new era begins in standout style on Saturday March 8 at the Utilita Arena Sheffield with a brand-new Netball Super Cup featuring all teams in action, before the regular league season commences with 14 more weekly round matches.
The crucial post-season matches then begin in late June building up to the Grand Final – at London’s O2 arena – on Sunday July 6.
