High stakes netball is the cue for the season-ending drama at the Netball Super League Grand Final which in 2025 takes place at The O2 for the first time.
Standard tickets will go on sale shortly. See The O2 website for full details.
Premium seats with VIP Lounge access will be available. Complete the short form here (also below ) for more information.
It’s official. The Greenwich Peninsula is the place to be for a showcase event in the UK sporting calendar. For the first time, on Sunday 6 July, the Netball Super League Grand Final will take place at The O2.
In 2024 Loughborough Lightning won their second Netball Super League title courtesy of a 57-48 win over London Pulse. At a sold-out Copper Box Arena the Londoners raced into the lead. But they were pegged back and then overhauled by the 2021 champions from Loughborough. Manchester Thunder (the 2023 champions) claimed third place with a 55-38 win over Surrey Storm in the third place play-off.
Now all eyes are on The O2 to see who will be crowned champions at the 2025 Netball Super League Grand Final.
After 14 rounds of Super League matches and Major and Minor Semi-Finals followed by the Preliminary final (see below for an introduction to the Super League) it all comes down to 60 minutes of netball to decide the biggest club prize in UK netball.
8 sides started the season. Only four will remain ahead of the semi-finals which take place across the weekend of 20-22 June 2025. And by this afternoon, four will become two, as the Grand Final looms and it’s time to decide who will be the 2025 champions.
Which side will be the last standing this afternoon raising the trophy aloft? All roads lead to The O2 to find out!

🏐 ABOUT THE NETBALL SUPER LEAGUE
The Netball Super League (NSL) is a club competition featuring 8 elite teams from across England and and Wales. Taking place weekly from March, the teams play each other twice in a home and away robin-format. This comprises Rounds 1-14, ahead of the Semi-Final and Finals stages.
The NSL has confirmed that the season-ending Grand Final in 2025 will take place at The O2 in London. It marks the first time in the League’s history the showcase event will be staged at the iconic venue. The decision to host the Grand Final at The O2 reflects the League’s ambition to elevate the sport to new heights and marks a significant milestone as the League continues its journey towards professionalisation.
The new structure (see below) will allow the top two teams to have a second chance to make the Grand Final as they could potentially lose the first Semi Final, but through the Preliminary Final they could still then progress to the Grand Final. The third and fourth placed teams from the regular season need to win two matches to progress to the Grand Final, and so this season there will be greater emphasis than previously on the League standings throughout the season.
NSL teams for Season 2025
Birmingham Panthers, Lexis Nexis Cardiff Dragons, NIC Leeds Rhinos, London Mavericks, London Pulse, Loughborough Lightning, Manchester Thunder and Nottingham Forest Netball.

It’s only fitting that our showpiece event takes place at one of the most prestigious arenas in the world and this will be a significant moment for our sport as we deliver not just a world class event, but also an unforgettable experience for fans, players and everyone involved.
