The Netball Super League is set to make a highly-anticipated return to the M&S Bank arena next May.
Four-time league champions the Manchester Thunder are set to take on the Birmingham Panthers.
Ben Williams, Commercial & Business Development Manager for M&S Bank Arena, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming netball back to the city.
“Liverpool has a rich sporting history, and local fans always create a special atmosphere.
“We are proud to host this prestigious event and can’t wait to see the arena buzzing with excitement as the players take to the court.”
The event will help to showcase some of the UK’s top netball talents competing in front of local and aspiring fans, whilst helping to reaffirm the city’s status as a destination for top-tier sporting events.
The city previously hosted the 2019 Vitality Netball World Cup where fans packed the stands to create an electric atmosphere. The event aims to bring the local community together and encourage the next generation to get involved in the sport.
Karen Greig, Head Coach and Franchise Director for Manchester Thunder, added: “We are delighted to be bringing a game to Liverpool and the M&S Bank Arena.
“We recognise as a North West based franchise that we have a responsibility to develop both local and elite netball across our region.
“It’s important for us to engage with netballers in the whole of the North West to get more people watching netball and coming to Liverpool is an exciting move for us.
“We will be working closely with Liverpool and its surrounding areas to engage not only young aspiring netballers but reaching out to netballers across the city. We are excited to see this new partnership drive forward and help develop partnerships and netball.”
