The Netball Super League (NSL) has confirmed that the season-ending Grand Final in 2025 will take place at The O2 in London marking the first time in the League’s history that the showcase event will be staged at the iconic venue. The decision to host the Grand Final at The O2 reflects the League’s ambition to elevate the sport to new heights and marks a significant milestone as the League continues its journey towards professionalisation. Ticket onsale details will be announced in due course.

A total of 14 regular rounds will build to the Major and Minor Semi-Finals followed by the Preliminary Final, another exciting new addition to the League that will ensure a longer post-season format across the course of three weekends which will be scheduled as follows:

WEEKEND 1: 20-22 June 2025

• Major Semi Final: 1st place (home venue) v 2nd place from the regular season where the winner progresses straight to the Grand Final
• Minor Semi Final: 3rd place (home venue) v 4th place from the regular season where the winner plays loser from Major Semi Final in the new Preliminary Final

WEEKEND 2: 28-29 June 2025

• Preliminary Final: Loser of Major Semi Final (home venue) v Winner of Minor Semi Final which provides another chance to get into the Grand Final for Major Semi Final loser

GRAND FINAL: 6 JULY 2025

• Winner of Major Semi Final v Winner of Preliminary Final at The O2 Arena

The new structure will allow the top two teams to have a second chance to make the Grand Final as they could potentially lose the first Semi Final, but through the Preliminary Final they could still then progress to the Grand Final. The third and fourth placed teams from the regular season need to win two matches to progress to the Grand Final, and so this season there will be greater emphasis than previously on the League standings throughout the season.

Claire Nelson, the Managing Director of Netball Super League said: “We’re thrilled and extremely proud to bring the 2025 NSL Grand Final to The O2 in London for the very first time and to showcase this electrifying event to our growing audience. It’s only fitting that our showpiece event takes place at one of the most prestigious arenas in the world and this will be a significant moment for our sport as we deliver not just a world class event, but also an unforgettable experience for fans, players and everyone involved.

“This coming Season, our League will be even bigger and better than ever before with lots of exciting new things for our existing and new fans to experience. So bringing our first season in the new era to a climax in a venue as iconic as The O2 will be a major moment for us all, and will make a real statement for the ambitions we have for our League and the boundaries that we will continue to push.”
