Netball Super League
The Netball Super League explained: England and Wales's top domestic netball competition, its structure, and its 2025 relaunch.
The Netball Super League (NSL) is the top level of domestic club netball in England and Wales, sitting below international competition as the sport's main domestic showcase.
Format
The league features a set number of professional and semi-professional clubs based across England and Wales, competing through a regular season of fixtures. As with most domestic leagues, the exact number of teams and season structure have changed over the competition's history rather than staying fixed.
The 2025 relaunch
The competition underwent a significant relaunch in 2025, restarting with eight teams and explicitly framed as the start of a multi-year move toward greater professionalisation of the domestic English game — a notable shift after a period of change in how the league was structured and funded in the years before.
Where it sits in the sport
The NSL is the main pathway competition for players in England and Wales between school/college netball and full international selection for England's national team, the Roses — see history of netball for how domestic leagues like this fit into the wider structure of the sport.
