Reigning champions Victorian Fury host the Canberra Darters while the Netball NSW Waratahs travel north to Brisbane to face QLD Fusion.
The ANL is entering its ninth season and the competition has undergone a major change, aligning itself with the world’s best netball league the ANZ Championship.
The aim is to give the ANL greater exposure on the netball landscape while continuing to be a vital national pathway for athletes, coaches and umpires.
This season ANZ Championship athletes will be eligible to play for their ANL-aligned teams. But no more than five are allowed to be included in any team each game.
Six teams will contest this season’s ANL following the loss of the Territory Storm and Tassie Spirit.
