Global Spotlight: Super Netball Goes International with AWSN Deal

Australia's Super Netball league is poised for a significant international leap, as Netball Australia announces its three-year partnership with Whoopi Goldberg's All Women's Sports Network (AWSN). The agreement, revealed on Friday, allows the league to be broadcast in over 65 countries, expanding its global reach.

Netball, a sport designed exclusively for women and girls, sees immense participation in Australia, with up to a million players countrywide, according to Netball Australia. The professional league, featuring eight teams since its inception in 2017, will now have 41 games, including playoffs and finals, aired on AWSN.

The deal marks a milestone for women's sports. Netball Australia CEO Stacey West highlighted the opportunity for netball to shine worldwide. AWSN, co-founded by Goldberg, aims to elevate women's sports by providing a dedicated platform, further fueled by Goldberg's enthusiastic support for the league.
