BBC Sport is confirmed as the UK broadcast partner for the Vitality Netball Horizon Series between the Vitality Roses and the Jamaica Sunshine Girls.
The Vitality Netball Horizon Series, which will be held on 13 and 14 December at the Copper Box Arena in London, will be shown free-to-air across BBC TV, BBC iPlayer and online.
The Series enters its second year this winter, after fans watching across BBC Sport saw Jamaica take home the title in 2024. Four closely contested games saw the Vitality Roses draw one, win one and lose two matches to the Sunshine Girls last year, whilst this year only two matches will decide the Series winner following the cancellation of the Jamaican leg due to the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa.
Fran Connolly, CEO of England Netball, said: “We are delighted to continue working with BBC Sport to broadcast the Vitality Netball Horizon Series and show elite international netball free-to-air.
Building on BBC Sport’s broadcast of the inaugural year of the Series and coverage of the 2025 Netball Super League season, this is an opportunity to further elevate the visibility of our sport and allow even more viewers to enjoy what are sure to be two incredible games.
“This Series is about more than just the unmissable action on court, as we are working closely with Netball Jamaica to support fundraising efforts following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa. BBC Sport’s support, particularly with Saturday’s game airing on BBC Two, therefore provides a fantastic opportunity for fans to show their support by tuning in to enjoy the battle between world ranked number four and three, whilst also uniting behind Jamaica’s recovery efforts.”
Tickets are available for both games in London here.
Both games in the series will be shown on the BBC Sport website and iPlayer with Saturday 13
December’s game also available on BBC TV.
Fans in Jamaica will be able to watch on CVM TV, and viewers outside of the UK and Jamaica will be able to watch both games on NetballPass, with a Series pass costing £9.95. In support of the Series’ fundraising efforts, £1 from every pass purchased will be donated to Netball Jamaica’s chosen charity, World Central Kitchen (WCK).*
