The 2016 Vitality Netball Superleague is set to be the biggest and best yet with a season opening Super Saturday and Monday Night Netball returning, live on Sky Sports.
For the first time ever, the opening round of action will see all eight franchises do battle over four matches at one venue.
Super Saturday will take place on Saturday January 30 at the Genting Arena, Birmingham with tickets to be placed on general sale this Friday, September 25, at 11am via Sky Tickets.
The event will have a Superhero theme and we encourage everybody coming along to dress up in their team colours and join us as we celebrate the heroes of the Vitality Netball Superleague.
The action starts at 2pm with last year's runners-up Hertfordshire Mavericks facing Celtic Dragons. Two hours later Yorkshire Jets tackle Loughborough Lightning with Dan Ryan taking charge of Manchester Thunder for the first time against Team Northumbria from 6pm.
Reigning Champions Surrey Storm finish off the day with a mouth-watering match-up against the returning Anna Stembridge (nee Mayes) and her Team Bath side.
That is the just the start of what is expected to be another hotly contested chase for the title. There will be fourteen rounds of regular season action played out over twelve weeks.
All teams will be aiming to reach the Grand Final on May 7 when the 2016 Vitality Netball Superleague Champions will be crowned.
