Netball New Zealand will dip into its own pocket to keep the ANZ Premiership afloat in 2026. 

A one-year broadcast deal with TVNZ has been confirmed, with the competition to remain in the current two-round format. 

Chief executive Jennie Wyllie has not revealed how much the deal is worth or whether players will take a pay cut. 

She told Mike Hosking there is a change in economics, but they feel it’s the new deal is aligned with the vision they have for the game – that Kiwis can see it with ease. 

Wyllie says the broadcast is different and there’s more risk in the market, but they’re willing to step into it as they know the game has a future.
