The Netball Super League (NSL) 2025 is set to introduce several significant changes aimed at enhancing the sport's appeal and competitiveness. The league will expand to 10 teams, with the addition of Birmingham Panthers and Nottingham Forest Netball, increasing the total number of matches to 90. A new three-tier system will be implemented, featuring the NSL at the top, followed by a second tier and a regional tier, to foster development and provide a clear pathway for players. The season will run from February to July, with a break for international commitments, and will conclude with a grand final. Additionally, the NSL will introduce a new player draft system, allowing teams to select players from a pool, which aims to distribute talent more evenly across teams. This overhaul is part of a broader strategy to grow the sport, increase its visibility, and ensure its sustainability, with a focus on engaging fans through various initiatives and improved broadcasting deals.
