The Suncorp Super Netball Series will enter a new era this weekend as it makes its debut with every game of the 2022 season available to stream live, on-demand, and ad-break free during play on Kayo. Netball is the latest edition to Kayo’s line-up of women’s sport, including the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup.
Launching this weekend, the 2022 Suncorp Super Netball Series will also see every Sunday of the competition, as well as all finals and the Grand Final available to stream for free via Kayo Freebies, while all Saturday games will be shown for the first time in prime-time slots.
To mark the arrival of the netball competition, Kayo hosted a launch event with NSW Swifts co-captains Maddy Proud and Paige Hadley alongside Giants Netball Captain Jo Harten as they prepare to go head-to-head in this weekend’s season opening Sydney derby clash.

NSW Swifts’ Maddy Proud said: “I think the derby is something special and a game you really look forward to each year. I can’t wait for the weekend and hopefully we do get a sell out crowd and relive last year’s Grand Final with hopefully a similar result”.
Giants Netball’s Jo Harten said: “There is always a bit of spice in the NSW derby but for me I’m just looking forward to kicking off season 2022 and getting stuck in and getting in front of our home crowd.”
Fox Sports and Kayo have added a number of broadcast innovations, including microphones now covering the nets, umpires, and players, and an aero shot camera showing the position of play.
Viewers who miss the start of any game will have the choice to stream live or start the match from the beginning with Kayo’s ‘From Start’ feature, while the ‘No Spoilers’ function enables fans to catch up on the action without knowing the result.
Fans can also stream the netball alongside other sports on Kayo with ‘SplitView’, while the on-air team will provide analysis from start to finish alongside new magazine shows Pivot and Centre Circle. ‘Kayo Minis’ will be available for every game, recapping the action in 20 minutes, as well as ‘Kayo Classic Minis’ recapping iconic games from the archives.
Fans can catch every game of every round live and on-demand from just $25 per month on Kayo Basic.
