Fox Sports Australia has announced it will conclude its local and international netball coverage following the Constellation Cup final on Wednesday night.
Fox Netball will say farewell to viewers across Foxtel, Kayo SPORTS and BINGE after five years, which helped to set a new benchmark for women’s sports streaming and broadcasting in Australia, bringing fans matches live, expanding access across linear and streaming platforms, and delivering more netball content, storytelling and innovation than ever before.
The 2026 Suncorp Super Netball season was the most-streamed Super Netball season of all time across Foxtel, Kayo SPORTS and BINGE, and the second-highest performing Super Netball season overall across linear and streaming.
The Constellation Cup has also delivered landmark results, with the 2025 series the highest-performing Constellation Cup series of all time across linear and streaming, as well as its most-streamed. Games One and Two ranked as the first and second highest-performing Constellation Cup matches ever.
General Manager – Fox Sports, Erin Ferreira said: “We are incredibly proud of what our team has achieved for netball and its fans. Together with Netball Australia, the clubs, players and our production partners, we helped bring the sport to more Australians, in more ways, than ever before.

“We are proud to have helped elevate netball’s profile, deepen the connection between fans and the game, and help build an even stronger platform for the sport’s future.
