Netball Australia has forged a groundbreaking global partnership with the All Women’s Sports Network (AWSN), a network founded by entertainment icon Whoopi Goldberg. This multi-year agreement signifies a significant step forward for the sport, as it will bring Suncorp Super Netball to over 65 new countries, expanding the league’s reach and introducing it to diverse audiences across the globe.
AWSN, a global sports television network dedicated exclusively to women’s sports, has recently launched a new channel on Pluto TV, extending its reach to over 900 million households worldwide. The network provides live coverage of women’s sports, showcasing some of the most prestigious leagues globally.
This partnership will see 41 Suncorp Super Netball matches, including finals, broadcasted to AWSN audiences until 2027. In a video statement, Whoopi Goldberg expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration, emphasizing the network’s commitment to promoting and sharing the excitement of Suncorp Super Netball with a global audience.
As the demand for women’s sports continues to rise on a global scale, AWSN aims to offer a platform that elevates athlete narratives, captures thrilling game moments, and highlights the profound impact of netball. Netball Australia’s CEO, Stacey West, emphasized that this collaboration propels netball onto the international stage, showcasing the league as a dominant force in women’s sports.
West stated, “Suncorp Super Netball is no longer a game that fans seek out, it’s something they cannot miss. This breakthrough deal puts netball on screens across the globe and cements our place at the forefront of women’s sport. AWSN shares our vision of taking women’s sport to new heights. Together, we’re creating a platform for our athletes and game to shine like never before.”
This partnership builds on Netball Australia’s efforts to expand its global presence, following a two-year digital distribution strategy through Netball Pass. It solidifies the league’s position as a powerhouse in women’s sports internationally. While Australian audiences can continue watching Suncorp Super Netball live on Kayo Sports, Foxtel, and Binge, AWSN and Netball Pass will stream Fox Netball’s top-notch content worldwide, offering unparalleled access and expert commentary.
By collaborating with AWSN, Netball Australia is not only broadening the horizons of Suncorp Super Netball but also revolutionizing the landscape of women’s sports broadcasting. This partnership signifies a pivotal moment for netball, marking its evolution into a globally recognized and celebrated sport that transcends borders and resonates with audiences worldwide.
