BBC to show Pulse v Forest in Super League

Nottingham Forest face Netball Super Cup winners London Pulse on their Super League debut

Netball Super League newcomers Nottingham Forest take on London Pulse on Sunday, 16 March at the Copper Box and you can watch it live on the BBC.

During the regular season one match per round will be broadcast as part of a two-year deal with the NSL.

Matches are available to watch live on BBC iPlayer and on the BBC Sport website and app, as well as on demand.

The season begins on Friday, 14 March and ends with the Grand Final at London's O2 Arena on 6 July.

The 2025 campaign is the first of the relaunched league as it moves towards professionalisation.

Eight teams make up the division - reduced from 10 last season - with the top four progressing to the semi-finals in June.

Forest and Birmingham Panthers are making their NSL debuts after Team Bath, Surrey Storm, Severn Stars and Strathclyde Sirens were left out of the revamped league.

New rules have also been introduced for 2025 to create closer competition and more thrilling matches including the super shot - an opportunity to score two-point goals from a certain area of the shooting circle in the last five minutes of each quarter - and the introduction of tactical timeouts.

Broadcast selections have been announced until round seven and the remaining seven rounds will be announced at a later date.

Sky Sports will broadcast the other three matches in each round meaning all four matches in each round will be available to watch live.
