The fixture for the upcoming Suncorp Super Netball season has been released, with the GIANTS to open the 2024 season against the Fever at home.
The highly anticipated home game is the first match of the new netball season that features a debut team, blockbuster matches and a new-look First Nations Round.
Saturday night timeslots and back-to-back Sunday matches will return next year, with all Sunday matches live and free on Kayo Freebies.
The eighth Suncorp Super Netball season starts on Saturday, April 13 at Ken Rosewall Arena in Sydney Olympic Park with the GIANTS facing the West Coast Fever, the 2022 Premiers, at home.
The GIANTS’ home arena will host all of the GIANTS’ seven home games again in season 2024 with a sea of orange for members and fans to be part of something greater.
After the blockbuster opening round clash against a new-look Fever, the GIANTS will travel to Queensland to take on the Firebirds in round two.
Round three sees the GIANTS return home to take on the Vixens on Sunday, April 28, with the two teams to reignite a long-standing rivalry with a Sunday afternoon clash.
Then, it’s a trip to take on the reigning premiers, the Adelaide Thunderbirds, at their new home at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
Round five sees another home clash against the Sunshine Coast Lightning in a Saturday night blockbuster on Saturday, May 11.
In round six, we’ll get our first taste of the blockbuster NSW Derby for the 2024 season as the Swifts host the GIANTS at Ken Rosewall Arena on Sunday, May 19.
Rounds seven and eight are on the road as the GIANTS play back-to-back games in Melbourne at John Cain Arena.
The first of the two clashes is against newcomers the Melbourne Mavericks, with the two teams meeting for championship points for the first time.
Back in Sydney for rounds nine and 10, the GIANTS will take on the Firebirds at Ken Rosewall Arena on Sunday, June 9 before taking on the Thunderbirds the following Saturday on June 15.
It’s on the road again for a trip to the Sunshine Coast to take on the Lightning in round 11 before the biggest trip in sport as the GIANTS head west to take on the Fever in round 12.
It's a blockbuster end to the regular season as the GIANTS host the Mavericks for the first time at Ken Rosewall Arena on Saturday, July 6 while there could be everything on the line as the GIANTS host the Swifts in the return Derby on Sunday, July 14 to close out the home and away season.
The Suncorp Super Netball Finals Series is set to begin on Saturday, July 20 with the Grand Final to be held on Saturday, August 3 at Adelaide Entertainment Centre.
GIANTS head coach Julie Fitzgerald said she’s excited to receive the fixture, with squad signings for the upcoming season imminent.
“This is the first step as we ramp up our planning and preparations for the 2024 season,” she said.
“We’re excited to open the new season with a huge fixture against the Fever and looking forward to the match ups and timeslots for our members and fans at Ken Rosewall Arena.
“I’m unapologetic that I think Ken Rosewall Arena is the best netball venue in the country and our GIANTS members and fans have the opportunity to turn it orange across the entire 2024 home season.
“I can’t wait to announce some hugely exciting signings in the coming days and encourage all GIANTS fans to get in quick and be part of something greater with a GIANTS membership in 2024.”
The league’s dedicated First Nations Round will be held across two weeks in 2024, to coincide with National Reconciliation Week in round seven and NAIDOC Week in round 13. All First Nations Round matches will be live and free on Kayo Freebies.
Inclusion Round in round four will showcase netball as a sport for everyone, with national inclusion causes championed by each club. The introduction of the round in 2023 enabled clubs to hero the LGBTIQ+ community, the CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse) community, people with a disability.
GIANTS Netball is more than just following a team or a sport, you are part of something bigger - a team, a club, a family.
Our members are the heartbeat of our club and community, and crucial to our success. While there’s only 10 players available to take the court on game day, there's 10,000 seats in our stadium.
Regardless of whether you can make it to our home games or not, we guarantee you that there will be a membership category that will suit you.
