Seasons

The 2021 Netball Superleague season was the sixteenth season of the Netball Superleague, the elite domestic netball competition in the United Kingdom. The season started on 12 February 2021. Manchester Thunder were the defending champions, as they won the 2019 season [2] and the 2020 season was cancelled after three rounds due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [3] Because of the ongoing pandemic, the first nine weeks of matches were held at Studio 001 in Wakefield, and the remaining matches were held at the Copper Box Arena in London. All matches were originally scheduled to be held behind closed doors, though from week 17 onwards, limited numbers of fans were permitted into matches, due to a change in the UK Government guidelines.

Contents

In the league section, Loughborough Lightning finished top, ahead of Manchester Thunder, Team Bath and Leeds Rhinos, who finished second, third and fourth respectively. The top three teams finished on the same number of points, and were separated by goal difference. Rhinos had their last two matches cancelled, as the squad had to isolate after one player tested positive for COVID-19. They were awarded the points and therefore qualified for the playoffs. In the semi-finals, Loughborough Lightning beat Leeds Rhinos and Team Bath beat Manchester Thunder. Lightning beat Bath in the final to win the competition.

Overview

Format

The 2021 Netball Superleague season consisted of 11 teams; Leeds Rhinos joined the league for the first time. [4] The 2021 season used 12-minute quarters for player welfare reasons, reduced from the 15-minute quarters played in previous seasons. [5] League-stage matches could end in a draw; previously, extra time was used to determine a winner. On each match day a team could use a squad of 12 players. [6]

The fixture list consisted of 20 rounds, running from 12 February to 21 June. The semifinals were held on 26 June, and the grand final was on 27 June. [6] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all matches were expected to be held behind closed doors. [7] All players had to take COVID-19 tests twice a week. [5] The first nine weeks of matches were held at Studio 001 in Wakefield, and the remaining matches were held at the Copper Box Arena in London. [7] All matches were broadcast on Sky Sports (either on television or via YouTube), [8] and start times were scheduled two hours apart so that they could all be televised. [5] In May 2021, it was announced that for rounds 17 to 20 of matches, 1,000 fans would be permitted into matches, due to a change in the UK Government guidelines. [9] The same number of fans were permitted for the play-off matches. [10]
