Sky Sports and Now will air every match, with the deal struck through World Netball’s international broadcast agency Sportfive. In addition, one match per day will be free-to-air on Sky Sports’ YouTube channel, and daily highlights will be available on the Sky Sports app.
Former England stars Pamela Cookey and Eboni Usoro-Brown will join presenter Caroline Barker at the competition, which begins 28 July in Cape Town, South Africa.
Sky Sports director of multi sports Helen Falkus said: “The Netball World Cup is the pinnacle in the international netball calendar and we can’t wait to showcase all of the action live for Sky Sports subscribers. We’ll also stream selected matches live on the Sky Sports YouTube channel, making action from the tournament available to all.”
World Netball CEO Clare Briegal added: “We are thrilled to announce that Sky Sports will be showing every game of the Vitality Netball World Cup 2023 live from Cape Town to our audience in the UK and Ireland.”
