The 2017 Vitality Superleague season promises to be one of the most exciting yet, with competition increased courtesy of three new franchises, talent spread across the league thanks to smaller playing rosters and new exciting players, plus venues and coaches. The weekly action promises to be fierce and exciting.

One of the new teams, Wasps Netball, begin their first ever season - as the Wasps brand expands across professional sport - starting with two away fixtures to Sirens in Glasgow and Team Northumbria at SuperTen, with both games live on Sky Sports Mix.

The Coventry-based outfit then gets ready for a game changing moment as they take on last season's semi-finalists Hertfordshire Mavericks at the Ricoh Arena, as Superleague netball returns to the West Midlands for the first time in over 10 years.

It's been a busy summer as the new franchises have built squads, and familiar names have seen wholesale changes.

After 18 weeks of competition, the top four Vitality Superleague teams will battle it out in June over a weekend of semi-final, 3rd place play-off and Grand Final action to be crowned the 2017 champions.
