VNL ROSTER TRACKERS: SEE WHO IS IN AND OUT FOR THE 2024 SEASON
The Express, who were the feel-good story of the 2023 VNL season after surging into the finals, will not have to wait long to exact their grand final revenge against reigning champions Falcons.
The VNL will move to a 22-round season to accommodate the arrival of three new regional-based clubs including the Bendigo Strikers, Gippsland Stars and Western Warriors.
The three clubs, who will join the VNL ranks for the first time in 2024, were included in a raft of sweeping competition changes made in the off-season.
The expansion into regional Victoria will also include matches taken to regional hubs including home fixtures to be played in Bendigo, Traralgon and Ballarat.
The Western Warriors will begin their inaugural VNL campaign against Peninsula Waves, while the Bendigo Strikers will clash with Wilson Storage Southern Saints in the opening round.
The Gippsland Stars, who will only feature an Under-23 side in their first foray into the state league, will start the season against the North East Blaze. Championship teams drawn to face the Stars during the season, will have a bye that round.
The earlier start date for the Victorian Netball League will accommodate all 22 rounds of the season, before a three week finals series begins on Wednesday, July 24.
The season will culminate with the grand finals night on Wednesday, August 7.
Netball Victoria’s Pride Round will return in Round 11 with all teams set to play at the State Netball Centre, while First Nations Round will be held in Round 14 in line with National Reconciliation Week.
