Fans from 88 countries around the world have got their live netball fix from the 2020 ANZ Premiership, with record numbers already netted through Netball NZ’s international streaming platform.
Live streaming viewership has reached over 100,000 fans during the first four rounds of this year’s league, with the return to court in Round 2 the highest streamed weekend to date.
Netball New Zealand Head of Commercial David Cooper said it was exciting to see international fans from all corners of the globe, including new markets such as the United States, China, Argentina and Germany all tuning in to watch New Zealand’s elite netballers contest live matches.
“New Zealand is the only country in the world where elite netball is already back in action on court and fans from all corners of the globe have been enjoying the return of the ANZ Premiership,” he said.
“The growth we have seen across our platforms has been encouraging in what has been a challenging season. Knowing that our product is bringing some joy to netball fans everywhere makes the hard work in getting the ANZ Premiership back on the court even more special.”
