FANS can now start planning their schedules after the 2022 Suncorp Super Netball fixture was released this morning. The league gave supporters an early Christmas present yesterday with the first round of the 2022 Suncorp Super Netball fixture, but then produced the remainder of the fixture today.
The opening round of the 2022 Suncorp Super Netball fixture kicks off on March 26-27, with two sides who missed finals last year clash at Netball SA Stadium with the Adelaide Thunderbirds and Collingwood Magpies locking horns.

On Sunday, March 27, Queensland Firebirds hosts Melbourne Vixens at Nissan Arena from 1pm, whilst across the other side of the country, Dan Ryan will make his debut as West Coast Fever coach, leading the West Australian side into battle against Sunshine Coast Lightning at 1pm local time.

Netball Australia’s Executive General Manager – Suncorp Super Netball, Events and Commercial, Adam Richardson, said the 2022 fixture delivered for netball fans.
“The sixth season of Suncorp Super Netball shapes up to be the best yet – with so much to look forward to from the opening round and the Grand Final re-match, right through to when the 2022 Premier is crowned,” Richardson said.
“The Suncorp Super Netball competition is only getting stronger, and we are incredibly proud that our players are the highest-paid female domestic club athletes in Australia.
“The new Saturday timeslots of 5:00pm AEST and 7:00pm AEST will make Suncorp Super Netball more accessible to fans right across the country, with community players able to attend or watch the netball after their matches during the day.
“We are excited to begin our new broadcast partnership with the Foxtel Group, which will see every match broadcast live and ad break-free during live play on Fox Sports.
“It is important we continue to appeal to a broader netball audience by having a significant portion of the Suncorp Super Netball season available to watch free on Kayo Freebies.”
