Victorian netball fans will soon be able to watch the state’s most exciting netball talent from anywhere in the

state, with a new streaming partnership announced today between the Herald Sun and Netball Victoria.

News Corp and the Herald Sun have locked in a season-long livestreaming deal with the Victorian Netball League, in an effort to shine a light on Victoria’s most promising athletes.

The VNL has long been the training-ground for future Super Netballers and Diamonds alike, most famously including current Diamonds and Melbourne Vixens Captain Liz Watson.

“This is an exciting announcement ahead of the season, as we know there’s significant appetite across Victoria to watch the talent on display in VNL,” Netball Victoria performance competitions manager Stacey O’Neill said.

“Livestreaming was a really successful initiative for us last year – we want to make VNL matches accessible for as many viewers as possible and this new agreement will help us to do that.”

The Herald Sun will stream over 50 matches across the season from all three grades – Championship, Division 1 and 19U – on the Herald Sun website, including at least six finals blockbusters.

The live streams will include a game of the round each week, with team’s broadcast in all three divisions.

It is part of an expanding portfolio of community sport live streams in Victoria which includes the AFLW prime development competition the NAB League as well as Basketball Victoria’s Country Championships.

“Our partnership with Netball Victoria provides an exciting platform for the next generation of Australian Diamonds to sparkle,” News Sport Network managing director Michael Wilkins said.

“It is fitting we are able to announce this commitment around our ongoing celebration of International Women’s Day and the important role women play in Australia’s sporting landscape.

“Women’s sport is a rapidly growing area at both the elite and grassroots level and we are proud to play an ongoing role in its future development.”

The Herald Sun’s live stream schedule will kick off on March 16 when the Peninsula Waves battle last season grand finalists Casey Demons at the State Netball Centre.
