Renamed Dragons to play in Cardiff and Liverpool

South Africa's Khanyisa Chawane is one of Dragons' returning players

Welsh netball's leading women's team will lose 'Cardiff' from their title for the 2026 Netball Super League (NSL) season and host games in Liverpool as well as the Welsh capital.

Previously known as LexisNexis Cardiff Dragons, the city name has been removed and they are now LexisNexis Dragons and will play home games at Cardiff's House of Sport and Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena.

Dragons are among six of the league's teams who will play home games at alternative venues, but are also the only side who will host opponents in two different countries.

Only London Pulse and Nottingham Forest Netball will host games at one venue, remaining in their home cities.

Dragons named their squad in early September despite financial uncertainty.

The Welsh side finished bottom of the revamped NSL last season - winning only two of their 14 matches - and there have been question marks about the franchise's finances.

BBC Sport Wales had been told that players were informed in the off-season that they may not have had a team to play for this coming campaign if Dragons did not secure the required funding.
